how -
how many odes
have been composed for the
sake of the human eye?
since humans first etched papyrus or
chiseled stone, or painted swimmers on
cavern facades by firelight,
the magnificence of the visual organ
has been given its rewards
for what can be more compelling -
more breathtaking
more expressive and emotional
more deep and beguiling
or more enigmatic, than what we breach
to the waking dawn each day?
windows they ARE, to the soul and more
and not always that brightly
burnished …
yet …
there is a mystery, still
for me, there is a question of the
ages that affects me from the wells of
your darkly pellucid peepers -
something I have never beheld or imagined
or even dreamed ‘til now …
slivered and seeded like some grand, inky
almond ocean ne’er crossed,
your epicanthic folds speak to me of
a pupiled perplexity that plunges far beyond
the range of the normal ocular abyss …
they stir in me a thirst for
answers and a hunger for the luscious
fruits that give them voice -
berried bows of exquisite shape and
tender texture that top off your
provocative ‘package’ … quite
perfectly …
your blinks -
coy closings, calculatingly slowed
are your way of reminding me of the bussable
bounty that waits winsomely below,
divinely deferring to what you
feel needs more immediate attention
(or what I feel deserves more exquisitely
erotic epidermal adoration)
but oh, my sweets -
when our mouths DO cordially converge
pray, do not hide your eyes from me,
for that myopic mystery
begs more accurate investigation -
I want to see that you can
see what I can see within your gaze -
I want all your apertures open,
and all your fantasies …
afire.
