Siren

You know those women you come in contact with, who captivate?
The ones who have such an amazing presence, you can’t take your eyes off them!
The ones whose eyes draw you in;
And, when they begin speaking, your ears refuse to hear anything else!

She brushes her sweater with her hand;
Casts a furtive sideways glance,
Pretending not to look at me.
Would I even stand a chance?
A bold sweet seed of roughest stock;
You’d never know it from her face
And body that so many envy;
Her beauty surpassed only by her grace.
Her eyes compel me -- drink of them;
Her smile, addictive drug so strong;
Her every movement captivates;
Her voice and laughter siren’s song.
