Edward Ibeh Poet Free verse

Soulful Ebony Eyes

So soulful
   Are your ebony eyes, my sweet. 
      Oh, how they penetrate so deep... 
         Into my own, illuminating 
            My heart with gleams of passionate love.

So soulful;
   Your eyes are windows 
      To the whys of you. They reveal 
         Secrets long untold. You light up the world
            When you make them smile! 

So soulful
   Are those glittering bright stars,
      And they shine like a midday sun. 
         Please, don't break my heart in two
            Flooding them with tears.

So soulful
   Are your ebony eyes, my dearest.
      They effortlessly entrap me in wonder.
         Go on, cast your wondrous spell 
            On me, and leave me as seduced...

As King Cobra 
   To a snake charmer 
      I couldn't resist being hypnotized
         By your come-hither gaze
            If I tried.
