Enchantments of Love

 

 

 

 

 

Wrap me within the gaze that bewitches me
Seduce my mind as my lips kiss your soul
Gather me to you and set my heart free

Fingers touch revealing what mystics see
In hazy eyes, find love's magical goal
Wrap me within the gaze that bewitches me

Muted emotions crave spellbound liberty
Enchantments of love mundane doubts console
Gather me to you and set my heart free

A single word can fill my heart with glee
But your eyes reflect where my senses roll
Wrap me within the gaze that bewitches me

The briefest glance denies me reality
Overwhelmed senses I can not control
Gather me to you and set my heart free

In love's chains, show my heart clarity
Lost in your loving eyes I become whole
Wrap me within the gaze that bewitches me
Gather me to you and set my heart free

    This is really beautiful, and it came as absolutely no surprise that it netted a gold trophy. The lines simply pour out emotion.

    I also want to thank you for the time you take to put some explanation of the form in your Author Notes. As one who is slowly becoming familiar with the various forms that are utilized, your Author Notes are a big help!!
