Enthralled

A destined love written in the stars

A whisper of air expels against her delicate ear,

Moist lips move to kiss her forehead,

His smile lighting upon his beloved,

Eyes piercing the depth of her soul,

His heart linked to hers, tethered to the future,

Destiny bright within their eternal flame,

Like stars smouldering in the night.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
