~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was just an invitation to a party with some friends
I didn't say for sure I'd go, but that it all depends
But now I find I'm standing in a crowd afloat with beer
I feel your eyes, they peel me like a grape!

The room is unfamiliar, and the faces very strange
The music's thumping louder, and the whole place seems deranged
And as I turn, we're just two strangers in a stranger place
Your eyes meet mine, and peel me like a grape!

You pierce through my composure with your penetrating gaze
Subject to your exposure, and your sharp all-seeing ways
I know that I can't hide, each layer you can see right through
and with your eyes, you peel me like a grape!

I get the eerie feeling that my soul has been exposed
You've seen right through the solid door that I was keeping closed
My layers have been pulled away, I'm naked to the day
Your eyes caress, and peel me like a grape!

Now I am at your mercy, and will be forevermore
I don't care what is up ahead, or even what's in store
I've come to love your tender gaze, and all your loving ways
So, with your eyes, pleaseā€¦peel me like a grape!

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart  ~~S~~

Oh...Sunny...I absolutely LOVE this.
I know I've said it before, but I am SO GLAD
that you're posting again. You are such a
talented poet and I really missed reading you.
So glad you reposted this one.
Hugs to you, friend,
~Vicky

Hi Vicky, and thank you so very much for such a wonderful reply!!!  That just means so much to me. I had a friend ask if I would re-do this one onto a fresh post, and I like it myself, so there it is.  Once again, thank you!!!!  ~S~
