Always Know I’m Fascinated!
Are you just that sweet and innocent,
or just an illusion?
There’s no doubt in my mind,
you’re my logical conclusion.
You are so care-free, easy going, easy to love,
my most exciting essential delight.
You’re always the dazzler,
and so unquestionably polite!
Conscientious and attentive,
are these traits really relevant?
Absolutely, just like your life,
so positively celebrant!
Intense, brilliant perceptive eyes,
that seek me out and greet my gaze.
Then a knowing smile,
as they light up and twinkle,
every time I turn a phrase.
Intrigued by tender possibilities,
encouraged by your sunny inclinations.
Infinitely enchanted by your compelling allure,
always know I’m fascinated
by our true love’s celebrations.
A note from Chris
The image is entitled “Ballerina” by Leonid Afremov. He paints with oils and palette knife. I want to extend my extreme appreciation for Mr. Afremov’s kind permission to use his beautiful artwork on my site. He currently lives in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. You can enjoy his paintings and find out how to own his artwork at www.afremov.com. Please read his biography and learn about his journey and why his artwork is collected all over the world. It is a wonderful story.

being married to a ballerina i greatly appreciate the picture…and the joy and exuberance of your words….
Great rhyme choices just made it flow that much better, nice!
This feels fresh and vibrant to me and so matches the mood of the piece–beautifully done!
I like the rhyme word choices in this–celebrant, especially–very refreshing.
