First impressions...

Smiling eyes

Swiftly sensing how

With each seductive glance

They are devouring my soul

Every bit of all that I am

All I know myself to be

Walls made dense through time

Are now brought down

So effortlessly

Damning all uncertainties

Swallowing prejudices whole

A new world built for them to see

Confident eyes

Teasing with a conscious stare

Fracturing my crystalline facade

Erecting a bridge to

That Mona Lisa smile and those irrational lips

As I stand naked in his cloudless sky

His look embracing me steadily

Slow to breath

Slow to speak

Without words to mark this moment

Without sensibility

Earnest eyes

Pleading with mine to leave

Yet eagerly grasping

For a natural response from mine

Relentlessly pursuing

My every raw unflinching move

For some undeniable pleasure of certainty

My sole objective

To deny the satisfaction they seek

Is lost in the midst of his obsession

Lucidity now fleeting

Myself and all I know myself to be

Grows painfully distant

Timidly I surrender to these

Faultless eyes

Ever more consenting to their flawed view of me
