Love Comes To Me, In Full Blast Poem by David Blaine

There she was, standing in the doorway
I stared at her, like a cracker on the highway.
She looked like an angel, send down just to be stared
I was sent too, but all I wanted was to get fared.
Her form was perfect, everyone 'round was dazzled.
I was not! I was more just baffled.
She had a radiance, matched by no lords or mortal
Her beauty was perfect, alas! for me, just as fatal.
Her hair just flowed, leaving sparkles in its wake
I sniffed the air.Wahoo! my nostrils got a fragrance rake!
I pulled myself together, I was her date for heaven's sake!
But I was too mersmerised, not sure whether I was really awake.

It took one more moment, and I realised she was a bit scared
Maybe so, because of me? I was one for who no one cared!
Was she embarrased? Will she ever look at me?
But then I realised, she just wanted to see.
Plucking my courage, I stumbled and bumbled
Looking up I saw she had just giggled.
'Wannadancewimmeme? 'I asked not really stammering
How could I? I was just plain blabbering.
Her eyes roamed, I felt I was beng strip searched.
'OK', my lady said, her voice lifting me...AH! forward I lurched,
Two hands grabbed me, and I thought it was her softness
But then in her hands, I realised from her muscles, which told complete fitness!

We moved forward, not exactly hand in hand
It was more like, I was slumped in 'her' hand.
Blimey! I felt dizzy, more so 'cause of the dance lights
But I was to wonder that, in all the later nights!
The music played, it was some jerk in a leather wad
But I was more interested to make my lady glad!
We dance in solo, atleast I felt so in her hands
Light headed I matched her steps, and with the bands.
She looked at me and I looked at her
I felt a bonding, more so from my heart.
I thought she felt it too, for her eyes grew misty
I knew it, she was the one, I felt myself feisty.

But a sudden kill hit me, did she like me?
Like the cyanide, the thought raced to fill me
My arms grew loose and my grip looser still
She looked at my eyes, and saw a moment of chill
She seemed to sense it, for her arms entwined
She came closer, I felt my doubts feigned.
I felt a skip, and found my heart had done it
All fears vanished and I felt my heart get lit.
Feistiness disappeared full and courage settled
I drew her close, and her giggle had me jostled
Then what happened I did not see,
But I felt it all for it set me free.

Our lips contacted and I thanked Avone
She did love me! I felt more prone.
An arrow struck my heart, the cupid had done its part
I thought she got one too, I felt from her lips which held her heart.
Who said Love at first sight was not possible
I am the evidence and I say it plausible.
Its not for all, its for the believers
I was one and I got my wish in full colours.
Never care about others, never give ears to doubts.
There is no predicting God's graces' whereabouts
So I say to you, believe in love and fling away your hows
Who knows? Someone might just overboard you, full, into love!
