Analysis of Captivated by Him



Campfire embers crack and incandesce across the hearth
A trillion stars flicker across the midnight sky
A million words fail to define.
I sit before you dazzled within your azure gaze
A profound sense of loving as we have never loved before
All life before pales and fades within the shadows of the past.
