Her Eyes

They dance and sing a merry tune 
They sparkle with life, death immune 
They shine like the most precious jewel 
They choke my words, commanding and cool. 

My jaw seems locked, lost for speech 
My thoughts are cryptic, impossible to reach 
My heady head bunged with clouds 
My heart so heavy, a beating shroud. 

An unsullied spring of purest blue 
A cascade of beauty obviously true
A blink and a wink the dream has been slain 
Another glimpse and I'm frozen again.
