Her eyes were a portent to loosing my mind
That smile made me mad by curious design
I tangled so deep in her silken hair
The memories she left found me wanting for more

Her eyes burned a hole through the channels of my mind
Mesmerized in passion I stepped through the door
Lost in the action of feeling attraction
I was tossed in a rapture I could only adore

Unaware of her magic, my life took a turn
While there in the alley she wandered away
Her tempest was wrapped down deep in my sole
There was just nothing left to settle that score

I watched her go by and on up the stairs
She left me right there to blink and to stare
From the depth of her whirlwind I walked through the night
Now over that ledge, I must reach for a light
