Spellbound

The beauty of words have possessed me
like a fragrance does a flower..
and my mind and emotions
rehearse for you
as though preparing for a recital..
where you are
I wonder
what you see
I imagine
what you taste
I savor...

the future beckons
and shows
two people
gazing at candles

it is us

we whisper prayers

for

our beloved,
while we emblazon in each other's eyes.
