Thief of Hearts

I saw your picture
and read the words
which you wrote
...then suddenly
my heart began to float
adrift on a slow boat
to Fantasyland

You struck a chord
which tingled
through my bones
I realized
that I had been alone
just a little too long
this time around

It was in the look
that you wore
upon your face
and in the way
you flirted
with the lace
hinting at things
that had yet to transpire

I heard your voice
whisper in my ear
I had no choice
but to try and
draw you near
I reached out
...but you had disappeared

like grains of sand
which slipped
through my hands
and left me adrift
on a slow boat
...to Fantasyland
