Succumb

There's something about you
That I can't quite put my finger on.
We've known each other for a while
And yet
There is a part of you
Or
All of you
That mystifies me,
That thrills me.
The feeling is so intense
So daunting
That I
Helplessly succumb,
Hopelessly succumb
To you -
To your presence
What is it about you
That eludes me?
That captivates me?
That enslaves me?
As you walk away from me
I say something;
You turn facing me.
Your lips part
Ever so slightly
As you utter something;
Your words are unclear
But the moment is captured -
A still frame.
A snapshot.
Etched into my memory
Forevermore.
Is it a part of you
Or
Is it all of you?
Is it the way you walk? -
With the natural grace
Of a huntress;
Is it your sweet, sensual scent? -
That tends to linger
On and on and on
Even in my dreams;
Is it your smile? -
Generous. Unpretentious. Knowing.
Is it the way you look at me? -
And I read into your eyes
The enigmas of the universe;
Or is it your
Indifferent, unintended gestures? -
The way you casually flick
Your wayward hair behind
Your ear.
Is it a part of you
Or
Is it all of you? -
That makes me feel
My world will be
Completely destitute;
Utterly desolate;
Totally inconsolable -
Without you by my side.
