Opened Eyes

Opened eyes see beyond horizons everything Behind the dirty ears of crying babies in the bath Look up to see the future through the galaxies Go through red lights at 80 miles per second speeding There is no time for tickets from the traffic cop Impossible to stop Blinking is a sin, a sign of weakness So move on to boardwalks clearly visible Capture every second in the instant lens Pretty girls in Atlantic City on the beaches Sport sunglasses to see glass hours darkly Shy eyes hidden behind the frames Body too blue to view from waters depth Wearing a yellow polka dot bikini very thin and wet She will never enter the shallows nearly naked Eye candy you can watch and swim in with a smile Tender to the touch but never fall in love Brown eyes blink when they are thinking Green is their favorite color while by the sea Envying since they are in to neon reasoning Never lose sight when viewing through the looking glass Binoculars are better for sighting pretty birds Hazel eyes are warm from our perspective Perception, image is everything Moving forward in the light of day when opened Already on your way to seeing Automobiles can take you there Adjust your rear view mirror cautiously When looking from behind with opened eyes
