From the Nose up

I know it is bordering on illegal to write yet another poem about eyes....so arrest me, I can't help if they are my favorite, I am a mortal after all, and on top of that a male...string me up.

From the Nose Up

 

Liquid and lingual, rimmed in brown sugar and molasses

Deep and cautious, darting with well intentioned mistrust

Light reflects a million different epic movies, mindful, flickering

Narrowed and unsure of my surly intent, lustful gaze

 

Look past my imperfections, I’m here breathing

Look past my sketchy past, I’m here being born

Look past my need to be a man, I’m here desiring attention

 

Your eyes

Your way

My want

My day

 

Looking into them, I can see myself in the universe

Author's Note

Just make sure the handcuffs are nice and tight.....not you Ed...don't want you within a hundred miles of a pair of handcuffs.

- i wrote - and entire ode - to hazy, crazy eyes once - and i'd be happily imprisoned for it - but before that - i have to say - that these are eyes like i've never read before - i recently got a tattoo - of a pair of divine eyes - and over the years i have lived - i have looked into a lot of mortal eyes - and they never came alive - quite in the same way - as they do in the delicateness and beauty of your words!

ps: agree with all my heart - with the author's note - and what a stunning review has sire left!!! :)
