Eyes and Lashes

A paper chain boggles my mind
Hackles that shackle, words that blind
Spacing my head, lacing my heart
All by the lures, of female art.

Letters, promises, poems of rhyme
Phantoms, ghosts that overlooked time
Butterflies with gossamer wings
Fireflies, that light up a spring.

I journey on red coals of brash
Blinded by her eyes and her lash.
Delight the bait and delight my sate
Delight was the sun and my state.

She opened me a wondrous door
To ecstasy and even more.
A touch if sin, a touch of whim
A touch of gay, the light was dim.

A single kiss, a single wink
Smothered in bliss I could not think.
