The Eyes of Her

Her eyes pull like a stormy sea

A stunning beauty stealing breath

Knees go weak when locking sight

Makes rooms seem brighter, eyes of her

Swirling pools that seduce and claim

Is this why Perseus used their shield?

Fearing the fate unreflected eyes held

I have become like stone to all other

Nothing can break the hold, the grasp

Of those glistening, sea storm eyes of her

Turning like Eurydice on that fateful walk

Deep down knowing you shouldn’t, mustn't

Content to doom your own fate in those orbs

Heart cursed and sealed by that wilful gaze

To know no other, want no other, see no other

I would smile gladly crossing the dark Styx

If only I saw, just once more, the eyes of her
