Lost, Within, The Magic, Of You... (Quatern)

Lost, within, the magic, of you,
Charmed, I am, at your very sight.
Fanciful Feelings, you Induce.
Left, I am, in utter Delight.

No Greater Rapture, then to be,
Lost, within, the magic, of you.
Nothing Matches the Utter Ecstasy.
Transfixed, I am, all so Wooed.

Exhilarated, you leave me,
Roused, to such Rhapsody,
Lost, within, the magic, of you,
Hypnotized, Haunted, by your Each And Every Hue.

Spelled, So, by your Wonders, Sublime,
A Willing Slave, I am, to you.
I'm Enamored, by you, Each and Every Time,
Lost, within, the magic, of you...

    First off good job with the quatern and I enjoyed the read :) Secondly I just feel that there are too many commas which makes the sentence stop but other then that it is always nice to see a guy feel so passionately about a woman..take care.
