These Eyes
These eyes.
They may shine...
For you.
A mixture of bright green and blue.
With streaks of yellow like a feline.
Oh, and did I mention that the color...
Can change with my mood.
These eyes.
I've used them to seduce.
To resolve.
To beg.
To get my way.
Or let others really see me.
To make them believe.
Yes, these eyes I've used.
Cleopatra, Helen Of Troy, Nefertiti.
Did they have these eyes before me,
And did they use them just to see ?
So when you say to me 'Hey you...
With those eyes you can see right through'.
It doesn't surprise me, doesn't amaze me.
But it does plague me.
Only because these eyes you see.
Do things sometimes they just shouldn't do.

Oh yes, the eyes do so much more than simply "see". I like this, CeCe, very much. First poem I've read on this particular topic - and you nailed it.
