Captivation

Have you ever felt captivated by someone?
I mean kidnapped, just taken by their eyes
and neither can completely escape.

I don't know what it is about him and I?
We feel drawn together so strongly.
Did we meet in another life?

Your charcoal eyes are always smoldering
they burn with intensity
through every one of your photographs.
Such vivid, heated passion
even in stark black and white.

I have never seen lips like yours.
I run my fingers across them
wishing they were more
than paper and shadows.

Whatever happens to us in the coming days,
I know your image will remain
in my mind permanently,
forever welded together.
