Kim Rodrigues Poet Sonnet

Gypsy Eyes

The pierce, the flame of gypsy eyes, that roam
    about your cheeks aflame, that throb at knees.
         The negligee reveals bride’s honeycomb —
                a poetry of bees, posthumously.

                Recover not from burn of jealous lips —
Soft greed of ruby smooth, the tender slide,
the way she moves - compare to buoyant ships —
they trim your sails,           so succulent and wide.

You must come down to earth — the dock awaits
its berth.              Noncompliant lovers doth crash
            against the water’s edge with crazy eights.
It’s much too soon to squash its tease and splash.

Her eyes astir — their closed next to your heart.
            The wild rose of her hair — your counterpart.
