Elevator Eyes
You know the look that you get
The sandy summing up of your worth
Can be peach positive or neon negative
Can feel good like green spring or hurt
Like a forest fire red burning potential
Matters not if the look is unintentional
Even karma kids do it as if a reflex
No need to shout or get upset at
Their lack of tack teal is their truth
Focus more on the vibration of YOU
Did your energy lemon lie or raspberry reveal
The parental look to see your dress
Whether male or female they obsess
How you are perceived on them reflects
Better be neat presentable blueberry best
Would you be a good seed or bad
Men can do it in secrete or like a shout
Ogling or admiring to check her out
Rolling red eyes over curves of soul
She is an angel on a stripper pole
Or maybe she is destined to be more
Women do it maybe I’ll confess
Watching him walk the width of his chest
Listen to his words what do they possess
Notice his shoes his crotch his tie and vest
Deciding if I’ll cranberry curse or blackberry bless
Elevator eyes do you see yourself
Awareness of pink potential looking left
Right inside and doing inventory well stare
Embracing and recreating upon denim dare
When you pass a mirror what do you see there
