Spellbound

[halcyon blaze]

Your beauty glows like nacre bright,
It shimmers soft in silver light.
The gaze you cast ensorcells me,
A spell I crave yet long to flee.

I fell for all your kalon grace,
The winsome charm upon your face.
A nubivagant lost and free,
Yet drifting back to thoughts of thee.

I balter, restless, torn apart,
A fleeting dance, a foolish heart.
Yet still, I wait—no path, no clue,
Just spinning stars and dreams of you.

Wow this poem really does show that the speaker is "spellbound". Takes me to a realm of fairytale. I love the vocabulary here. Words like "nacre", "nubivagant, and "winsome" are such a nice way of showing said lover a powerful passion that the speaker has for them. As always, the rhyming here makes the poem seem for melodic and such a technique is also complemented by the iambic tetrameter. A meter such as that indirectly connotes the beats of a heart which create an even deeper sense of love outside from the metaphors or hyperbole used here like "yet drifting back to thoughts of thee" or "a fleeting dance, a foolish heart".

Short, powerful and full of life. Well done, Saylor!
