Could it possibly been a decade
that moment life changed forever

Do you recall it as I

That magic moment of submission
branding me

Forever yours

Of hundreds present

Friends
colleagues
acquaintances

Most I had known for ages

I remember none from that evening
save you

From the instant you took my hand
speaking so elegantly

Not a word was heard
lost in your emerald eyes
and from that moment on

My soul was yours

There was no resistance

Completely
utterly
totally
yours

Forever

My soul pierced
facade stripped bare
doubt laid waste
all control

Yours

Oh to be lost again
helplessly drawn
in those emerald pools
what I would give

Again forever yours
