Charm

I plead with you, love...
Distract me with your charm ...
Take away the worlds weight...
In only the way you can ...

I have written...
thousands of words ...
Formed from the memories...
of passing smiles...

I have stood...
With my head a bit higher...
Because the shock of a gaze
Sent currents of pride

I have smiled ...
In my heart ...
From the whispered sound ...
Of a laugh remembered...

I have dreamed...
And hoped and lived...
At the whim...
of a frail hearts desire

So, I plead with you, love
Distract me with your charm
Make the night a brighter place
With the fire of your eyes.
