The Keeper of Time

I dare not stare at this vision too long For it takes my breath away What magic spell do you cast on me, That makes me feel this way? Are you my mistress, the keeper of time, That holds me in your will? For I'm your prisoner, with just one glance That makes all time stand still Like a selective bolt of lightning Your fire has pierced my soul You've captured me with your beautiful smile And held me, with your radiant glow I cannot ever look away I fear I'm trapped in this blissful dimension Frozen in time, I can't escape Hostage of your breathtaking attention Tomorrow no longer has meaning Just a day like all the rest My heart stands silent, refusing to beat Until your love is confessed Alas, you're the reason for the poet's verse And the ending, to his every rhyme With just one glance, time stands still For you are the keeper of time

This one is beatitful, Larry. Love that phrase for the woman: The Keeper of Time. I enjoyed this. As for my free verse, I have done maybe 30 or 40 in ten years, compared to well over a thousand rhyme. If they keep doing these free verse contests, I'll use up what I have in my inventory. hahaha
