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
