My Precious

When I first set my eyes on you,
It’s like I’ve seen an angel,
An angel without wings but with celestial power,
Power to capture the mind and soul 
With a strong magnetic force of attraction ,
My mouth opened wide with goose bumps on my skin;
Cold sweats aggregated on my forehead and 
My heart  raced more than the stallion ,
Your smile made me feel on top of Everest ,
And when you said ‘Yes’ to my request ,
I jumped on top of my roof like a lottery winner,
Your first kiss set my entire body aflame ,
I staggered like a drunkard ,intoxicated…
Intoxicated with wild grape fruits from foreign lands..
Your breath was like fire on my neck ,
Your scintillating voice causes great flow of emotions,
Engulfed in the euphoria of love and passion ,
Oh ,cupid! your arrow is golden and your hands icy…..
