Spellbound

I won Silver with this poem on Allpoetry.com! I dedicate it to my husband. This is one of the poems featured in my book, Portraits of Life, Copright 2010 by Lulu Enterprises, ISBN 978-1-4457-6314-9

Under a gilded moon we danced,
In a golden circle of infinity,

Stars twinkling above glanced
At us dancing rhythmically
To the tune of sweet amour;


You bewitched me with your eyes
suspending me in a trance
Your eyes penetrating my soul did hypnotize
With the magic of your essence;


Underneath a gilded moon
We spun in enchanted circles
Lost forever in the tune
Of  love sung by some cosmic choir.
You have bewitched me body and soul, and I love you,
With a love so deep it cuts through my very essence

With just a touch and a kiss so warm and true
My body enthralled in a potent trance.
Our lips, by a strange magnetic force

Bond together in a kiss
My heart cannot help but wonder
What spell brought me to this state of bliss;
You've bewitched me most profoundly
With your warlock's curse

Your spell has captured me
In a hypotonic trance
Underneath the gilded moon

We spin in a circle of infinity
And In a delirious swoon
Under a sky of deep velvet blue
I whisper feverishly that I love you.
