eyes

Her eyes will make the heart shiver
then shatter completely
And you will wonder, heartbroken,
Have her eyes yet seen me?

I shake the dust
from my eyes
with dreams
that wake
the sinful beauty
and call forth
the new
twilight

Let my eyes rest on you
and never need see again
Let my dreams drift
into thoughts of your smile
and need not wake again
Let me capture your attention
For a tenth of a minute
and need not anything again

I am not worthy of you
I will never be worthy of you
I wish only for you to look at me
Let me be sure
That you have seen me
With more than a passing glance
have graced me
For if I can know
that your eyes have known me
then I can sleep
and dream
that I am worthy

You are stunning
and I am intrigued.
I wonder
What's beneath the sharp eyes,
the sleek smile;
Who is beneath
the beauty I see?
