POWERFUL EYES
MaryPoet Rios

       Blanket of earth, whispering sky,

   the rustle of beguiled places.

     Spacious, infectious, courageous.

        Sensible, luscious and wicked eyes.

      Outlawed and profoundly incapable,

   I stretch my imaginations' limitation

      Defeated and galley-slaved by

         their comically unworldly depths

      Affecting, deflecting, connecting

   All-powerful energetic optic waves

     pulsing, captivating, tempting into

       inescapable compliant submission 

     Laughing, humorously bedeviled eyes.

  Taunting, piercing, vertiginous stare

     causing havoc to my feeble constraint.

       Fluidity responds.  Heart ambushed!
