Smitten Beyond Repair
Why do you shield yourself in mystery?
When I ask, you say it is only me.
You can do magic, it is plain to see.
You have cast a spell over me.
This can’t be in this day and age.
But, my heart is captured on every page.
Though I may try to escape this cage.
There is no way to turn the page.
I am hypnotized, mesmerized, vitalized,
to the extent that you don’t realize.
You are all & everything to my eyes.
I am hopelessly in love, I realize.
You have taken me to a new level.
I pray that you are not the devil.
You have created a new equation
You paralyze me at every occasion.
I am smitten beyond any repair.
As I stand, open mouthed, & stare.
Has someone just made me king?
You are my all and everything.
Now, if only, you are my queen,
I will be able to do everything.
You make me what I am today.
I do it for you in every way.
I love you. What more can I say.
Life has provided the only way.
That way is for you to be mine.
I need a big glass of wine.
I have got to try to unwind.
I can do that with a little wine.
You have taken me to a new level.
I pray that you are not the devil.
You have created a new equation.
You paralyze me at every occasion.
I am smitten beyond any repair.
As I stand, open mouthed, & stare.
