I Look Away

CATEGORY

just different

Views: 523

I have trained my eyes to focus

mainly on a woman’s lips

when conversing face-to-face,

because it’s too easy to slip

into eye contact –

 

transfixed by the stories eyes can tell.

 

Yes, without even an utterance

her eyes can cast a spell.

 

These windows to the soul

are like the Sirens of Greek myth

luring sailors to their doom

through the destruction of their ships,

but I aim to stay afloat,

and this is why I rarely gaze.

 

Passing glances possibly,

but my focus never stays

upon the eyes.

 

For mine have led me

into dan-ger-ous terrain.

 

Oh yes, eye contact was to blame,

so I no longer play that game

with my emotions.

 

The gaze can act

as the most vile of lust potions –

immersing me in situations

without proper preparations,

and that is not a position

I wish to be in yet again.

 

I'm at my best keeping it friendly,

wielding my heart in my own hands.

 

So I look away.
