Have you ever seen a face that seems
too beautiful to believe?
A face you might see in your dreams,
incredible to perceive?
A man like this walks through my mind
in day time and at night.
More gorgeous visage I can’t find,
he’s such a splendid sight.
Liquid eyes and sumptuous hair,
expression dark and steamy,
fixing a “come hither” stare,
his soulful look so dreamy.
His sensuous mouth and burning gaze
linger in my soul.
I’m hoping it’s a passing phase,
before I lose control.
For such a man I’ll have as mine,
if ever I am able
A night with him I’d not decline –
he’s made my mind unstable.
And then again I must believe,
at least for my own part,
that else but looks will yet achieve
the winning of my heart.
