Love Poem: Only a Glimpse

Only a Glimpse

Tis only but a glimpse I seek
Such beauty has never been found
A mere gem for one to behold
Your purpose, to simply astound

A temptress who casts her spell 
On every heart that's near
Forever enslaved as your prisoner
But not worthy of your love, I fear

For I am but only a simple man
And you, a vision of grace
Unworthy of your attention
I bow my head in disgrace

So pass me by oh beautiful pearl
And dare not look my way
My heart cannot bear your rejection
So look not on me, I pray

'Twas only but a glimpse I sought
Enough to quench my thirst
But I drank of your beauty, too much I fear
Til my heart will surely burst
