She Walks Alone

She walks alone
Petite and austerely beautiful,
Sombre in her loneliness...

She's a sorceress
Witch
An innocent enchantress...
Her magic silver and golden

She casts her spell...

Inadvertently?
He wonders...
As he is held.

He admires her from far
Hesitant to go near
A victim of his own insecurities...

She senses him
And builds a wall around herself
Trying to look fierce and strong
But it takes him hardly a moment
To see through the facade
Beneath which she tries to hide her real self
Which is
Badly hurt and insecure...

Li'l lady, I'm sure
You've been through bad times...

And I
Acknowledge your sensitivity
Sense your tenderness...
Admire your endurance
Respect your strength.

Lil Lady,
I feel your sadness...

I've never seen anyone like you
So beautiful, so pure, so mystical, so intense
So very mesmerising in your hypnotic beauty
So very enchanting in your innocence...

The way I feel for you is an enigma to me...
To tell you honestly,
Lady,
You fascinate me.
