A Beautiful Eyes In a Coffee Shop Steal My Heart

“Your brown eyes are like candlelight in the dark of the night.....
 Inside an archaeological library........
Do you see me looking at them as a historical clock?
 And drowning within the gradations of time?...
 What’s time? And history?.......
 Only inside them.......  
As a reader, I love to read the library of your eyes......
 So do you see me,  turn its pages book by book....
Or memorize the poems of spinning to recite them to your ears....
 If the morning light came  and candles went out....
 Please  someone would save me ......from drowning in the sea of their honey….
I feel like coffee that  she  gave me was an old wine ......
She was the daughter of October...was swinging at the beat of my heart...with her brown hair
And every time I look at your face it makes me wonder how he can carry all those  beauty maps.....
And every  time I looked at her smile...
  I feel like I’m drowning.... someone save me.... 
please help me.... I forgot how to breathe!!.

“ In that beautiful coffee shop.....A beautiful eyes steal my heart...”

                                                                                            _ Bouchra Himer_

Owed to a Grecian Formula,
Though secretive and unbetrayed,
Scarce noticed, by gradations wane:
Auld sylvan strands, fine argent grey.

Rich chestnut hues, slow, unannounced,
Emerge discreet midst ashen roots,
As grizzled mantle transforms brown,
Like autumn leaves or wooded shoots.

And though ’tis pittance sacrificed
To dab small bits at break of day,
Alas, amended means, I yearn: 
An aerosol, fine misting spray.

’Tis sweet to subtle reclaim youth,
To push back time, to mount attack.
A caution raised to those who dare:
Embrace thy choosing, glimpse not back.
