When love is near and passion afire

Prisoner of the Heart (Words and Recitation by Richard Lee Orey) Your face appeared and my world stood still I knew I couldn't part Enchanted by your image A prisoner of the heart Unable to speak or breathe or move My mind and body and soul No warning shot across my bow Your love my only goal Shamelessly I pursued your love With flowers and words and deed As you gave to me your lovely smiles Gentle touches that I need Yet here I am with passion afire Unable to stay or part My mind and body and soul are yours A prisoner of the heart You turn to walk away But I can't let you depart I drop to a knee to plead my love A prisoner of the heart I catch your eye and hold your hand I pray to God above And a prisoner of the heart is gone Now partners in true love The lesson I learned that all should know Is when love is at your door You've got to throw your cards on the table In life there's nothing more When love is near and passion afire And you can't bear to part Get on a knee and plead your love As a prisoner of the heart O, the lesson I learned that all should know Is when love is at your door You've got to throw your cards on the table In life there's nothing more When love is near and passion afire And you can't bear to part Get on a knee and plead your love As a prisoner of the heart Yes, get on a knee and plead your love As a prisoner of the heart Richard Lee Orey Copyright 2012 If you enjoyed this poem, I invite you to review my poem, Heart and Soul: One Last Dream.

As an untrained poet, I sense an ordained form to this poem; unfortunately, I cannot identify it. However, I can still enjoy and appreciate the skill of your writing.
Seems like a long time since I've seen your name here, so I'm glad you're back and hope you are well.
I borrow a word from your first stanza--the poem is enchanting!

Beautiful, Richard! Filled with romanticism and deep meaning. Your poetic ability has really grown and I think seeing a couple of poems turned to music has been a great inspiration for you. Keep them coming, Richard. You truly do a nice job with all your poems.
