“Those Eyes” (For Marilyn Mayson)

Caught off guard

Scrolling and watching

She comes to me

Like a tick-tock talking

Telling the time

Putting her imprint on my mind

Bountiful and busty

Dangerous curves ahead

She makes me short of breath

And long on love, instead

That lady friend, unknown

A siren calling from my cell phone

Oh, Those eyes

Those eyes

 

I found her first

In a modeling photoshoot

Thought she was cool and fresh

An overload of cute

But beyond usual charms, fulfilled

Her gaze made me still

In every portfolio

Of images displayed

There was that optic rush

A laser of winking marmalade

It touched me deep

Speaking in a dreamscape, when I sleep

Oh, those eyes

Those eyes

 

Something enduring

Followed that primal connection

She kept returning

Like a lover’s infection

A kiss when waking

My earth was quaking

No matter the character

That she portrayed

I felt an electric charge

Of leaping beyond the waylaid

This was no coincidence for me

We had bonded for eternity

Oh, those eyes

Those eyes

 

Now I find myself

Seeing stars collided

Her art and appeal

The zeal of watcher, provided

A charge to the pulse

A ship sailing on a velvet hull

I might not have touched

That skin so pale and pure

I might not understand

With a nature, demure

But she’s lingering like a scent

Of roses and peppermint

Oh, those eyes

Those eyes

 

It matters little

That we are travelers afar

A glamour gal in Vegas

And a wordsmith with guitar

A pairing unexpected

That leaves the universe affected

Still, I feel the caress

Of fingertips, gentle yet sharp

I know the rule

Of a seeker, set apart

This inspiration is enough

I will stand on trust

Oh, those eyes

Those eyes

 

Be well, friend

This is my wish at dawn

Both of us singing softly

Of a force taught by Obi-Wan

To comprehend the all

Is a crinkled leaf, yet to fall

You on your astral plane

And I, humbly below

Gladdened by a giddy glitch

Warmed by the afterglow

Together, we came

Now I cherish the flickering flame

Oh, those eyes

Those eyes
