I look into your face and I see
A life not my own
I thrill at the beauty and splendor
Of exotic places and times
Your visage clouds my vision
And I am lost in your image
My mind is frozen in place
Numbed by your seductive pull
Entranced by the image you cast
And the glow upon the very walls
I sit absorbed in mindless entertainment
As I yield to the power of your embrace
