Intoxication

While all the other flowers
were deep in their winter’s
drabness of faded colors,
she shone a full radiance.

She was crowned by a halo
of white hair, its beauty
administered by the dark
swirling streaks within.

And light came to my domain,
again my heart lightened up
to the attraction of a magnet,
or perhaps, the pull of gravity.

And when I stood next to her,
mesmerized in her presence,
the urge came upon me to be
impulsive, taste her sweet lips.

makes one wonder; if indeed you got to taste those lips and maybe the impulse was acted upon; perhaps you got a slap for it? Or was the impulse overcome and you continue to wonder yet? I'm not sure that I would have used the words lightened up, so close to the " light came to my domain", maybe you could say: my heart was drawn, as the attraction of a magnet. Nice stuff! ~ Geezer.
