I saw you from across the room
Exuding masculine energy
From your granite jaw and gunmetal eyes.
Every woman’s eyes were on you
As you strode through the room,
Looking for the one you’d make happy tonight.
Your steely eyes captured each gaze, one at a time,
One bee seeking one specific flower.
Only
the
one.
You knew what you wanted
and would not settle.
My mind dissolved into a reverie
As I lost sight of you in the crowd.
I felt your hand,
A flame on the small of my back.
You took my elbow and spun me around—
Silently commanding me to face you.
I tried to steal a quick glance at your face,
But your eyes grabbed mine, refusing to let go.
I stood there,
Paralyzed by the fire blazing inside me,
Watching your grey eyes darken
To smoldering orbs of hematite.
Electricity charged the air between us.
I tried to look away,
But my hands betrayed me,
Clasping themselves behind my back,
And my eyes followed along, obediently,
Answering your unspoken question
With a truth we both knew.
Yes. I am yours.
Helplessly.
Completely.
