Lightning Bolt – A Quadrille

Posted byChristine BoltonPosted inBlog, Love, Pain/Sadness, QuadrilleTags:, , , , 
The sparkle in your eyes
Glints like gold
Touching me with a warm glow
It draws me in like a magnet
Your arresting smile
stops me in my tracks
Rooting me in the ground
I am frozen in place, immobile
What has just happened?
