“THE FIRE IN YOUR EYES” Eyes that you own, so very mysterious to me, I hear them speak and whisper, so amorously… The softest yet piercing of blue, that they are, but they can be on fire, and shine like a pulsating star… When I hold you close, they do indeed change, from a most gentle softness, to ones of blue flame… I stare at them, as you return in kind, and your eyes, they play with my mind… Mischievously seducing my thoughts, and I don’t know, how I would ever stay away from you, after seeing their afterglow… They mesmerize me, when you stare into my mind, I forget who I am, perhaps you have rendered me blind… My lips to your ear, and fire they become, dancing with life, and very adventuresome… Again they stare at mine, so hauntingly lovely, reaching into my soul, enticing me absolutely… They burn like the sun, but so captivated am I, you stare right through me, with a look that seems to amplify… My senses are none, into your spell I become, when enraptured by you, it is so very awesome… Both pairs are blue, but yours are so divine, and when staring into each other’s soul, they have a tendency to combine… A tantalizing moment has occurred, and I would never deny, that I have gazed and seen, “The Fire In Your Eyes”… Bill Charles |

Hi Mark, Thank you for the welcome back. I had to take some time off for awhile, but want to come back slowly. And I am penning, as it is my first love. Hi inot2B, I like your name, catchy. Thanks for the kindness of your comments. And thanks for coming by for a read. Hello Victoria, Thank you very much for your generous comments. I find it difficult to come up with titles, and I hope this one suits the writing. Thanks again. |

"A tantalizing moment has occured, and I would never deny, that I have gazed and seen the fire in your eyes." Wonderful lines...title fits perfectly....James |

Wonderful verse! There is something hypnotic about the eyes, especially when they have that fire in them. "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

Bill, impassioned and soulful writing...the language of the eyes, perhaps at times outshines the most ardent communication. Robert Joseph |

Mischievously seducing my thoughts, and I don’t know, how I would ever stay away from you, after seeing their afterglow… They mesmerize me, when you stare into my mind, I forget who I am, perhaps you have rendered me blind… ====================== Bill, this is just lovely and very well written, creative and passionate love the focus on the eyes very cool and love the title take care jm |

Both pairs are blue, but yours are so divine, and when staring into each other’s soul, they have a tendency to combine… A tantalizing moment has occurred, and I would never deny, that I have gazed and seen, “The Fire In Your Eyes”… Bill a most delightful piece to read...thanks for sharing Tracie~ Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |
