You’ve got me hypnotized

A Quest to Love

Here I am again

on a worldly mission

in my lavish heels and attire

same old place and host

chatters, the clicking of china

aromatic One Michelin cuisine

surrounded by veiled societies.

My eyes were vacant, shifting and darting

across the elegant tables

‘till I caught your gaze

fixed at my veiled anxiety

vanishing my vacant face

losing grip our gazes locked.

You caught me off-guard

with the hypnotic stare that spoke

“Hey, have we met before?”

Your eyes playful searching for my soul

striding towards my consciousness

with a smile familiar

‘till our eyes passed secret notes.

My knees fell weak

a delight rushed to my spine.

You dashed for your chauffeur

waved a gentle adieu in your gaze

through the crowd with our eyes locked

leaving me awestruck, the way of your eyes

kept me locked in a trance. In this reverie, I muttered

you’ve got me hypnotized.
