"Thre Invocation" by Lord Frederick Leighton
Something
(For Danna)

There is something about you 
that seemed to persist, 
Something that I find so hard 
and difficult to resist  : 

You melt my heart with so much 
of your thoughtfulness. 
You overwhelmed my thoughts 
with so much of your sweetness. 

Yours is a presence 
full of such gracefulness, 
And you graced my heart 
with so much of your tenderness. 

I tried my best to ignore and resist, 
But the more I did the more it persist. 
`Cause each time you speak to me, 
you speak with so much grace. 
You seemed to touch my heart 
just at the right place. 

What is it about your smile 
that compliments your pretty face? 
There must be something magical 
which made me constantly in daze. 

I pondered my thoughts 
with so much examining 
Just to find the answer 
I kept on searching 

What is it about you 
that is so appealing? 
Or is my mind playing tricks 
and I'm just imagining? 

This is exhausting... 
But one that my heart 
seems to be enjoying. 

So I've decided, after having 
spent so much time searching, 
I'll put a stop to all my resisting. 

I'll just enjoy and treasure this feeling.
