Paradoxy

Before I could even know,

Your care and concern blew away my mind.

Before I could even sense,

I was caught right in your bind.

Before I could catch my breath,

Your persona held it for more than a while.

Before I could even know,

Something took me to sublime.

Before I could even feel,

I kept doting you in my thoughts.

Before I could even permit,

I lost control to my zenith.

Before I could even judge,

I already had my credence in you.

Before I could even feel,

I lost myself to you.

Before I could even resonate,

I was already set to reverie by your smile.

Before I could even connect,

I had my soul searching for you.

Before I could even abandon,

Your name was felt reverberating by.

Before I could even resonate,

You made my lifetime through;

A golden string in my dainty blue.

Enticing Soul

I see a ray of hope 

I see a ray of sunshine-

Each time I gaze at your face.

The more you cross my mind;

The more I find myself lost in thy embrace.

I still wonder the enigmatic connection;

I still question the magnetic attraction,

Something so charismatic about thee;

That refuses the severance.

Not about the deep brown intense eyes,

Not about the heavenly smile,

Not about the undying attitude,

Not about the witty magnitude, 

Not about the captivating romanticism;

Holding a lot more by blandish.

A satisfying soul link-

Attributed to thy ardent self;

Yet seems neither out of love or for love.
