Subcutaneous, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)
I could not take leave
What would it achieve
I got no relief
I did not believe
You’d be of rose scent
In lavender dress
I couldn’t guess
Your next move
Could it be true
It was you
Who gave me no choice
With your sultry voice
A lure to be sure
I could not ignore
You drew me in
I wanted some more
Bacall stare
You don’t play fair
You told me beware
But I didn’t care
I the mouse
Drawn into your trap
Playdough putty
A dog in your lap
You twist and bind me
Until I give in
I have to admit
You’re under my skin.
(end)
Again, not a single event in my life, but just a general look at initial attraction people have when they first see someone or date.

This a great description of experiencing love in the first instant. Well-written. The title is perfect for the poem.
