All who had preceded him left chaos in their wake
Tying triple knots in my heart strings and ravaging my head
'Til I was alone with cuts and questions 

Then he came with great aplomb that fit well with outward appeal
A face like the art of Masters 
And apple green eyes that sliced like diamonds to the depths of me

I found those eyes a curiosity 
Their iridescent glow all encompassing, so much that I lost time by them
As they promised secrets I could only hope to hear

At his word I found my own eyes droop, soon closed to all
Though somehow still, I could  see
An eddying swirl of visions from all sides of my mind

He reached out a hand to touch my hair, eiderdown and wire all at once
Wild from all my wandering 
But settling gently at his caress

And when my eyes at last did open, I found him still before me
So I licked my lips moist, and sighed
And let him whisk the questions out of my open mouth
