Blue Eyes Anonymous

Blue Eyes Anonymous

 

 

simply blissful

the wistful reckonings

of a touch savored

but wavered

before there is connection

 

expression

held inside

simply abide

 

until

she still

might look my way

 

hope is in my eyes

that I might catch hers

returning the glance

just that minute chance

 

simply blissful

They say blue eyes all comes back to one ancestor. I say all the original ancestors were black. The Aryans were not white and they held this mystic beauty in their eyes... I love it.

And how simply blissful it is! You may make eye contact with dozens of people during the day, but sometimes she's looking back. Or something. Great piece

Beautiful poetry. I like the repetition of simply blissful, to start and finish with. Those first glances can make or break an opportunity. Really like this piece J.

Your book has arrived J. and I am enjoying the wonderful poetry. I can thoroughly recommend it to all your other readers.

All the Poems I Never Wrote, (your 22nd published book).

Captures very well the feeling of one who has seen "that" girl but has faltered before approaching her. The expression was indeed held inside, with, I imagine, accompanying frustration. Hope lingers, but success is slipping away by the moment. Been there myself, many times.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

too many times, eh, John?
Yes...too many.

[W. Barrett Munn]

The first glance primes the engine. The second turns it over and you keep revving hoping she will notice what she’s done.

Nice metaphorical reply, my poetic friend.

Isn't it funny how two people can be in the same room, not a single word spoken, but a million thoughts in between? We dance on that highwire of thought only to fall into the quiet reality of nothingness.

As always, you express your thoughts so perfectly, Jacob.

It's always a pleasure.

Linda,
those are the best...the people we can be quiet with yet communicate so clearly.

Jacob, i like romance in your poetry .... it suits you :)

Eyes, oh yes the windows to the soul.
Always the first attraction for me , especially if they are blue like my own ...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Blues match, even different shades.

Reminds me of bogey and Bacall for some reason here’s looking at you was that the line ? It’s early here having coffee been awake two hours it’s only 530 am now
Great write ✍️

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes, but he said that line to Ingrid in Casablanca.
But Bogey and Bacall, one of the all-time romances...they sure did love one another.
