Hypnotic

Drawn down the dreary paths,

In dark I’ve always run.

Sickness in my sullen heart,

A war that’s never won.

Constant dread and monsters’ hands,

Covered my body bruised.

Only for their guiltless clout;

Forever the abused.

Flown overhead to heat-drenched land

-A sunnier side of sad.

Deep eyes, shy smile, nervous laugh;

the best I’d never had.

Soft wet brush across my cheeks,

Dimples pink with blush.

There in the dark, no monsters out,

A tranquil, welcome touch.

A million miles, million smiles,

And words I’d never heard;

Waking up to beautiful,

And foreign promised word.

Couldn’t picture life before

I saw your bashful eyes.

Most radiant heart I’ve ever held;

Forever hypnotized.
