Instantly,
Your beauty overwhelms,
Gives notice of its intention
To dominate my dull world
With wild imaginings.

Indelibly,
It stamps a million portraits
Of your face, embedded
For eternity, in dreams
Of endless longing.

Intensely,
Passion poisons reason.
A fatal magnet of attraction
Pulls my vulnerability deep
Into the swallowing sea.

Inevitably,
The maelstrom of emotion
Chokes life coldly like a killer,
Denying this love's airways 
Space to breathe.
