Eyes carve first perceptions
with unconscious fervour
wilful imaginings
prejudicial clarity
sculpting senses
defining smiles
waning frowns
enticing judgments
coaxing hope
alluring adventures
iced intimacies
With bated breath
we entwine our lives
around what we see
foolishly or wise
upon baited hooks
pleasing to the eye
essential for the heart
rhythmic to our bodies
and we love.
