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.
