Quiet Poetry Lounge : Your eyes...

Akilah said:
Your eyes so mesmerize me...
They take me in darkly
...
Promises of erotic pleasure and sensual delights
They call to me...first sweetly...cajoling
then slyly...wickedly...mocking...laughing
~ unwilling to see or perhaps
blinded to the hard glint of cruelty...glittering...
nearly unseen at the surface
...foreshadowing...

Wow Sister! Very touching piece. It is so true how just merely glancing into a persons eyes can spark "voyages" into a fantasy world. I love the way you hinted at the dangers lurking...so priceless.
 
Your eyes so mesmerize me...
They take me in darkly
As a sirens call to a sea faring ship
Beckoning me... silently... dangerously
near the wreckage of my own undoing
I see the temptation which lies behind them
and I am unable to turn back...
Promises of erotic pleasure and sensual delights
They call to me...first sweetly...cajoling
then slyly...wickedly...mocking...laughing
I want to disrobe my inhibitions and dive...
eagerly with abandon into those onyx pools
drifting for eternity ~ unwilling to see or perhaps
blinded to the hard glint of cruelty...glittering...
nearly unseen at the surface
...foreshadowing...doom...
