Love's Grasp

Just a little poem that came to me.

I see your smile 

And my heart misses a beat. 

Your voice is a song 

That plays the strings of the heart. 

Your smile is the light 

That vanquishes the shadows. 

Your touch is the surge 

That rises the tower. 

Your love is the energy

That makes my gears move. 

Your kiss is an addiction like no other. 

You are my mistress, 

And I, your slave. 

I am trapped in the amber of your will 

Unable to tell your lies from your truths. 

You are a drug that I do not want to give up, 

But in the end I must.

You have turned from fairy tale to nightmare. 

You are no longer the innocent beauty, 

But the sinful succubus. 

I must run from the danger you bring,

But yet I cannot will my legs to move.

I need help from paralyzing gaze. 

I need an angel to save me from your demon grasp.

What started off as a sweet little love poem soon transitioned smoothly into a dark piece. You nailed that perfectly, and as a result, this turns out to be a magnificient poem. Bravo!

"I am trapped in the amber of your will
Unable to tell your lies from your truths. " - so many writers seem to be fully aware that they are being lied to (okay Im getting carried away now) - I know its a poem lol
The image of being trapped like a prehistoric fly in amber is bloody good Zach.

we are powerless in presence of some people - they exude such an aura that we would bathe in it all day and all night to the detriment of our Self - addiction is the same feeling.

You wrote excellently here ZD - well done!
