Mystery

Альбина Кумирова
How this man so common, so average
takes all my mind and sets it ablaze,
making my body so wildly savage
just by his smile, just by his gaze?

Where he found a fabulous recipe
for such explosion blasting inside,
pushing me right at the edge of a precipice
where my foot is so ready to slide?

Why am I feeling such vertigo, dizziness?
What is the mighty drug in his smile?
How he moulds my mind with easiness,
filling with joy, when the world is hostile?
