Analysis of My Handsome Stranger



Oh! handsome stranger
Your name, pray tell
 My heart knew you were danger
But my mouth said “I’m mirabelle”
You  smiled up from a ledger
I know you felt it as well
If you were the devil,  my soul I’ll wager
Apparently I like a taste of hell

My handsome stranger is my best view
Like Alexander,my heart, he will conquer
Unexpectedly he charges through
Like a raging knight, my foes, he will slaughter
This feeling you incite is new
My favorite sound, his laughter

Oh! handsome stranger
till the end, you, I shall pursue
If I am an art then you’re the painter
With you, I shall stick like glue
My friends say you’re a heart breaker
But I see them on the queue
a long line for your number
I want it too

My handsome stranger is like the breeze
Elusive as a flash beam
To find you I’ll cross high seas
For without you despair is on the brim
I’m most certain Shakespeare agrees
That you are more than a summer dream

Oh! handsome stranger
Nothing about my feelings is untrue
Forgetting you is way harder
Than the skies changing from blue
Alone in my chamber
A part of me longs for you
How do I restrain her
Tell me what to  do

My handsome stranger, This is intense!
to know this is but common sense
That above propriety and pretense
love takes precedence
If you shan’t grant me your presence
Then a name to remember in your absence
For you’re the bane of my existence
The very core of my essence
