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
