Uncanny, Yet Perplexing So

A poem inspired by a girl I met at work.

Uncanny, Yet Perplexing So

         In life, love, and it's latter laments
         You come across some certain strangers
         That can, with rage, set your mind afire
         Or make your heart burn with firey desire

         The ones with a wondrous beauty
         Uncanny, yet perplexing so
         Are the ones who often intrigue me more
         Than any I have met before

         Uncanny because of the simple fact
         That you see it nearly every day,
         And perplexing for despite
         A seemingly standard sight it is
         A semblance of love
         Heightens in your heart
         Whenever it comes near

         And this malicious mirage
         Of inward perilous passion
         Can lead you on an arduous adventure
         Of great romance, or horrid despair

         So when meeting a maiden
         Of such beguiling beauty
         A confounding query arises
         Of what one should do

         With want of wit
         And dearth of daring
         And all else abiding within
         The only option
         That I saw fit
         Was to leave it alone
         And save romance for another day
