an obsession

couldn't take my eyes off the blue eyes in the grocery store...heavy sigh

sounding like Friday night
looking like Saturday morning
a little bit
            exciting
more than a little bit
                      intimidating
a walking bowl of delicious
with cobalt blue eyes
can you hear the cacophony of an obsession forming?
there is but one certainty
my fingers will type you tonight

Author's Note

yes, it's Friday! :)

Love the last line. As blue is my favourite colour, I've always wanted blue eyes. But I'm stuck with dark green...maybe that's more reflective of my personality though haha I must have written a million of these poems over years of looking at people that I'll never know, leaving my imagination to fill in the blanks. A charming piece, with a bit of spice as well ;)

I have blue eyes....and I think looking at someone else's blue eyes can entice and mesmerize. Of course, green eyes can be dreamy too. Eyes...they are my thing I suppose! :) Thanks, my friend. Lydi**

You know, I thought they looked blue but I wasn't sure haha Eye contact is an amazing thing when the response looks positive...you strike me as one who puts a lot of stock in the eyes but I don't know exactly how...I have a hard time trying to explain these things haha My pleasure my friend :)

I do like these lines. It is so funny how just the image of someone can capture our imagination so. Nice one.

Oh! ...and I cannot wait for you to type him tonight. I will be first in line, missy! The picture up there is enough to get me going! Add some juicy words and yes, maam. It's Friday night! Ha! Angi~

[Lydia Shutter]

The guy in the grocery store really had that look....those blue eyes you want to stare at forever. Thanks for the great review, Angi. Lydi**

[Angi]

OMG! That is the kind of guy I like, too. Yum. Yum. Yum. My guy has blue eyes just like that. I wonder if he will take a late and extended lunch break?! Ha! I can't wait to see what you come up with.

[Lydia Shutter]

Not sure my words will be postable! :)

[Angi]

Ha! That's what inboxes are for. *wink!*

[Lydia Shutter]

ROFL you are so clever, Angi!

[Corset]

although I married blue eyes men, I've always been partial to brown, but this tickled me and I'm wondering if you're gonna be in big trouble later with the hubby, lol. But of course you were talking about his eyes right? lol..!!! love it

[Lydia Shutter]

Nah, hubby is okay with me browsing the menu elsewhere as long as I eat my meals at home! :) He has brown eyes....we always are drawn to what we don't have! Thanks for the review, Corset. Lydi**

[Jack...]

Beautiful Lydi, fun and frolicking in the grocery store huh? At least he didn't have to say, "hey, my eyes are up here."

[Lydia Shutter]

Laughing here....I suppose there is that! :) Thanks very much for reading and commenting, Jack. Lydi**

[ron]

WOW that was awesome, the last two lines "there is but one certainty my fingers will type you tonight" took the whole poem to a new level. :)

[Lydia Shutter]
