Days are consumed with passionate fever <br />Pursuing a dark, beautiful woman <br />With tantalizing storm-concealing eyes <br />And a proud face <br />Undaunted by youthful suffering. <br /> <br />Following the sway of her dress <br />Through crowded streets, <br />The mind is dizzy with desire <br />And the heart is filled <br />With desperate sighs. <br /> <br />The appearance of some women <br />From a far-off distance <br />Can reduce a man to tears <br />As he pleads to unknown deities <br />To be beside this mesmerizing, feminine essence. <br /> <br />There is obsession <br />Frighteningly all-pervasive <br />And eroding the last visages of sanity: <br /> <br />Under these circumstances, <br />After just meeting a woman, <br />A man might marry and murder her <br />Within a week.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dark-beautiful-woman/
