Don’t

I would never take my eyes off of You!
.......it's not about trust, it's just..........well You know   ;)

Enjoyed the ink

Thank you, Tallen, and yes I do know. This isn’t about trust. That trust had already been established. But into each other’s eyes... yesss..,

Jadey!
That's fantastic!
Just that resonating line is wonderful alone!
What a great Quatern!!
Thanks Jadey!
Matthew.

Ah thank you, puppy, and you’re very welcome. I’m pleased for how happy my words make you feel... and gracious humbled for the RL honor. x

Hypnotic chant...love it

Thank you so very much, Lawrence, I’m glad to know.

That seems an unusual meter for a quatern, but what a fantastic innovation it is!

Why thank you so much, dear Reggie. I’m terribly honored by both your words & the place on your RL.

And fear not, it’s an honest & true Quatern.🙏🏻

awesome read sweet with a hint of lust be found

nice write

Thank you, poet, I’m glad you feel the intent even with a hint. Some spices tend to overpower a good thing, yes!

Do...

love
Jeff

I love this site,
I am not an experienced writer and this "Quatern" with an '8-syllable line count, iambic pentameter' is something I want to look into. Speaking of looking into "Now don’t take your eyes off of mine"
is such a powerful line. This is such a huge display of honesty while almost looking into ones soul. Your third verse sums it up
"Now don’t take your eyes off of mine,
They show you a faith we believe".

very nice indeed!

Thank you so very much, dear TIG, with your words honoring my humble effort via your lovely reading.  

As for looking into the poetic form of the Quatern, I only just discovered this satisfying (to me) form a mere few months ago. I’ve enbraced it ever since, influencing other members here. You might say there’s been a little grassroots movement tentatively growing as the interest in the Quatern spreads.  

And as for the iambic pentameter, this is one of the rhythms in rhyme scheme poetry that creates the cadence when writing (and reading) poetry of rhyme. But its also for poetry that doesn’t rhyme, as long as the correct syllable line count and the soft/hard alternating of syllables is observed.

What I’ve said is a mere blurb to give you the idea. I invite you to pm me should you want to talk more.  

Meantime, I thank you again for stopping by.

Thanks Jade I will probably do that!

deep within you let him lie
let it be only your eye
soonly inside you  he will lie
as both in harmonical oscillations
you both fly
keep looking into his eye

🙄 😳 👀

I can't think of anyone who would need to be persuaded not to take their eyes off you ...  Nice quatern, as always.  :))

Why thank you, Josh. What a nice thing to say. I’m humbled. But what
I’m saying is: don’t take your eyes off of mine - our eyes looking deep into each other’s. Sorry - I didn’t think you’d mind the correction.

Another beautifully executed quatern, jade.  You've got me doing the 8 syllable count, although I may deviate at times.  You have taught me so much.

Oh, my dear crowfly friend, such honors you shower me with.

Sounds like an order. What happens if I misbehave?

*throaty chuckle*
Ohhh hoho, oh my... you’re asking for it, aren’t you... ; )

In hold of gaze, the promise holding there,  
Though fickle eyes, would wander other place.  
But how your eyes hold mine without a care  
To wander and enjoy our filling place.  
 
I long to see expression of our fill,  
As words dismiss for other sounds' incline,  
At breathing's catch, our culmination's will,  
I cry, "Now don’t take your eyes off of mine!"

I can’t top that when answering your verse,
Or if I try, would mean I must rehearse.
Since you’re my partner, don’t know for how long,
You’d better hire a stand-in while you’re gone.

Just let him wear your glasses they won’t know,
He’ll cover nicely putting on a show.
Your office where we hide they won’t get wise,
We’re busy gazing at each other’s eyes!

Oh the possibilities if I could put forward my clone!

I love that you answered in verse... what I answered in verse...

The poem is so subtly intense, that I couldn't take my eyes off, even if I wanted to.
