Was only hers to remove
The price was her heart

Writing prompt: Masked men and stolen kisses
Under his spell
She fell
She drank
An affair of the heart
In ruin
She sank
Torpedoes dispersed
She tried
To veer
But in the end
The outcome
Was clear

In the still of the night
he came to me.
Kneeling beside me,
I could feel his feathery touch.
He was memorizing my features,
hoping I wouldn’t wake.
I was only pretending to be asleep,
enjoying the feel of his hand.
Desperately wanting to reach out,
but not daring to ruin the moment.
And I wondered about all he was thinking,
as he traced every crease on my face.
I wanted to open my eyes and smile,
as he placed warm kisses on my cheeks.
But I dared not even open one eye,
for I knew he’d then be gone.

Swept away
By a passionate kiss
One she knew
She didn’t dare resist
Taken under
Completely by surprise
A perfect love
Reflected in her eyes
Never before
Had she felt such heat
Finally a man
Who made her feel complete
Lost in the depths
Of his charming smile
She knew this flame
Was completely worthwhile
Left breathless and wanting
Their impassioned eyes meet
Who was this handsome stranger
Who’d swept her off her feet
Putting the romance novel down
She continues with her housecleaning
Everyone wants to know
Why suddenly she’s beaming
