AN UTTERLY ARRESTING MAN

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

I saw a picture of
'An Utterly Arresting Man'
I was held captive by his
stormy bridge burning eyes
the very structure of his fierce facial command
aligned in my mind's eye to tantalize
what glorious intellect must he hide behind
that intense expression
what passions too does he refuse to compromise
would he fight to the death to win love's hand
or would he rise above all that
and consider himself an unaffected man
so hard to say
but the captivation encourages me to stay
perhaps I am merely an enigma to him
if he could but see me
admiring his photo here as I am................

Author's Notes/Comments: 

was looking at a photo a friend shared with me and was quite taken aback by the person's very intense features and my mind pondered and emptily sketched the question of the person's character pitted against the fascination my eyes held by their features in that same said photograph. It was in a sense, a delicious occupation to undertake.
