Her Eyes

Her eyes

Draw forth

from my heart

A bleeding font of poetry,

Causing my stammering

Crooked lips to sing

They are wells of song

Wells of verse

The Almond orbs

Lashed in black

need only

favor me

with a fleeting glance,

To draw out what is there

Author's Note

"Lashed" is supposed to be accented on the ed, like Lash-ED

Reviews

[Samuel Dickens]

Oh, that fleeting glance that strikes deep. Of all the body language that a woman may use, that one's the best and most telling. Well done, Kermit.
