Those wide eyes April 23, 2012

 


It is always the eyes,

as attractive as a Venus flytrap,

twice as deadly,

 either in the photographs

 she sends me

or in her stare across

 the table at the office,

 large eyes, full of secrets I can't read

 others might find her mouth more attractive,

but a bit too wide like the femme fatal

from a James Bond movie,

 very kissable, but not quite as dangerous,

too predicable in that it will

laugh or cry, smile or pout,

yet always too obvious like a barometer of mood,

 while her eyes, her mysterious eyes,

hold all that she is all about,

 a lock box which needs

 the right combination to open

a defiant stare that challenges you

to try and open her up,

dares you to find out who she really is.
