i can only see beauty in your eyes
they still amaze me
blank,captivating
drawing me in with every look,
dripping undefined beauty
his eyes still amaze me
Those nuances
Simple shade of a meaning
May captivate your mind
And be quite intriguing
As the story unfolds
There is a building of suspense
There is just no telling
As to what may happen next

Am I lovely?
I know I'm loved,
I'm lovable,
I'm loving.
But am I lovely?
Am I delightful?
Am I truly cherished?
If not now, will I ever be?
Will anyone ever call me Their Love,
Their Delight,
Their Cherished One?
Will I ever be found in Your heart?
Am I what anyone will pursue?
Will anyone fight for me?
Will anyone feel like a man
by being with me?

Jesus, am I lovely?
Will I ever be the princess,
will I be a part of the narrative?
Will my beauty ever be unveiled?
Will anyone ever want to know my heart?

I know I’m not too much,
I know I’m more than enough,
but am I lovely?
I never claim to be talented; my poetry is mere therapy. A reflection on the book "Captivating" by John and Staci Eldredge.

She is hiding behind the tall pine trees.
My thoughts are all twisted. She is calling for me.
Her silhouette is now stored, burned into my eyes.
She spoke with a voice that disrupted the sky.

It’s only her and I in this misty forest, all alone.
The path I came from is now gone, overgrown.
When I take a step closer, I simply go nowhere.
She stands completely still, guiding me like a flare.

Everything is quiet, except for all the voices in my head.
They scream her name, coloring my ears with red.
A distant look is embroidered on her face.
She is captivating; I might be in dire straits.

I’ve been wandering for so long, in so many years.
Now I stand in an awe of her, stuck in second gear.
So I’ll just stay here forever, looking at her in despair.
Because if I turn around, I am afraid she might disappear.

Sing me your song
And put me in a trance
Of love and devotion.
Your song blows on the embers
Of my soul and awakens them
From its dormant state.

Sing me your song
So I can fall in love.
Sing me your song
So I may discover my fire.
Sing me your song
And, someday, I will also sing along.
From 'The Traveller: Part I'

Just sitting.
Just writing.
Saturday translating.
Comfortly feeling.
Relaxing this evening.
A feeling so captivating.
My mind is liberating.
Thoughts full imagination.
They are the reflection
of seduction.
When memories
feels so alive and
intensively.
Like dreaming in space
so heavenly.
The beauty of words
reveal our vulnerability.
Escape to infinity.

She was aesthetic... not because of the way she laughed or the way her eyes sparkled whenever she talked about something she loved and not because of the way she used to bite her lower lip whenever she was lost deep in her thoughts.
But, simply because of the way she perceived the world. She was full of positivity and her aura spoke volumes about all the captivating mysteries that made her who she was.

As I look upon thee
I see a lock without a key
Those misty eyes
A pain in disguise

Two marbled gems
Shine bright like diamonds
Those hazy eyes
An innocent lies

Your face is a mystery
Hiding all your misery
But that eyes so flawlessly
Compliment my anxiety

May I?

Look upon those Eyes?

I can barely see

Your staggering beauty

As it dances freely

With the flights of fancy

Under those dark, bloodshut eye

I can surely die...

For you Aazzy and your mysterious eyes :)

Those eyes captivate me
When I look into them
I lose the ability to breathe

Those eyes reach into me
They grab my stomach
And tie it in a thousand knots

Those eyes devastate me
I cannot know about the
Universe that lies inside them

Those eyes are a mystery
But a miniscule clue
Has been left behind...

And I don't know what to do.

The rhythm of my heart
Beats with such musical intensity
Can you hear it?
So complicated the arrangement
Yet impressively expressive
To all who listen deeply
riveted by
the captivating elements
of LOVE
