Prince Charming

The night is full of shadows
and not a single cloud covers the starlit sky
in front of you stands a stranger
he stands alone, his body a silhouette,
a figure in the darkness
yet his face is illuminted by the moonlight
and you aren't sure how he got there,
you aren't sure whether you should run
but his eyes are alluring
and you can't look away

There is something in his dark eyes
something that releases a fear in you
Yet still, you don't turn and run
You stay and gaze into those eyes
for the sheer amazement has swept you away
there is something in his eyes
something beautiful, something great
Hidden, lost in obscurity
and you can't isolated the beautiful from the horrifying

you reach out to touch his cheek
but his figure melts into the shadows
and all is silent
