Dark Eyes

Black eyes Those dark eyes Like glistening Polished gems Round, circular Obsidian Marble stone glossed And gleaming They are beautiful tunnels with light at the end They are marvelous well bottoms with overhead pinpricks of blue sky and sunlight shining through the hole They're like charcoal the way they smoulder They shimmer with soul They charm you during a smile and turn the face into a warm stove on a winter day They intrigue you with a glance, keep secrets like the deepest parts of the ocean Like an ocean surface covered in a thin layer of oil Contents hidden from view That might sound crude But that's the effect They are ancient They are a gulf of potential fuel and fire They are like the smoke from that fire the way they make you hold your breath when you first gaze into them And they stupefy the brain the longer you stay They are ravishing Playful Tantalizing Innocent Sexy Mysterious Out of this world They are the secrets of the universe condensed to a space between two lids
