His obvious blue
seem to meet
my painted lashes

~but not quite

each sip
swallow
and lick

tempt me
to stay
for another

just incase

tapping the
cut glass
eyes match
the definition
in his
rhythm

fizz

bubbles rise
in beer
though
his blue
sparkles
deeper

dangles
cigarette
from mouth

I'd so
like to kiss
again

the blue
oh the blue

I remember
when
they
felt
like
sky

his
childlike
softness
churns
my
eyes
crazy
.
.
.

wow, thankyou so much.

I didnt really like this, felt like i couldn't get it right, but he was just the perfect subject, even though not a stranger.

He saw me in the end

in reading this poem and the comments, I'd say we literally all know the same guy????
and I do mean the very same guy????

Great poem as always. Thank you for sharing.

Gemma, my friend...I do believe we have all looked into these eyes...but my "he" has brown ones. LOL

You know, sweetie, you are getting very popular around PIP.

How could people not love you and your personality...it shows through your poems and replies, Sweetie. I'm so proud of you. Hey, I think I'm going to go get my "Gemma" rictameter and repost it for you.

Hugs

Been a while since I read a poem that's as downright sensual as this one, without coming out and saying it....

That be one lucky fella -- hope he knows it!

I'd forgotten about this. Though he is beautiful to watch, I have decided it's time to look at myself for a while.

Thankyou for taking the time to read.
