Who Are You

You caught my eye as I passed by
Astutely dressed dark suit and tie
Hair well kept eyes of green
Tall and svelte broad and lean

You filled my dreams with love and lust
A visionary quest I behold to trust
Sweatsoaked sheets pillow held tight
You captured my soul from first sight

I visited baristas and local shops too
Hoping to see if you were true
Empty and vacant I looked down the street
Who Are You? Who put this spell upon me

Did my eyes betray my heart and my soul
Never like this a part of my whole
Sleepless I search day and night
For you I think are my Mr. Right

A perilous journey a heart wrenching tale
Love at first sight could set me a sail
But if I can but find him and bind him with rope
Heartstrings of madness love and of hope.
