Analysis of Captivated
A.D. Small 1987 (Indiana)
You captivate me
To the point, where I'm completely,
And utterly speechless
You make me happy
To the point that I'm dying to kiss
To kiss your sweet lips
To watch you smile as I do this
I want to hold you're hand
Your hands hold so much love
They turn me to quicksand
Your hand fits mine like a glove
I want to smile
To whisper it will be ok
To open up my mouth to speak
And pour out all the words I want to say
My ink flows from my lips
It pours down this paper so smoothly
It stays on each line, like caressing fingertips
Speaking in fine printed sensuality
I want to speak to your mind
To scream on the inside of your brain
To twist the black ribbons that wind
Around my heart.. You make me insane
I want to console you
To breathe the life into your lungs, so you can live
With all the hurt I've gone through
It's amazing that I still have love to give
So take this gift and wrap it in lace
Put it inside a corner of your soul
So when you caress my face
Remember, I love to make you whole
