It was her eyes



It was her eyes of course
And the way they looked down
Shyly, lest I spy them
She would be unguarded

Her hands held together
Her pretty thumbs moving
Soft, unblemished, warm brown
Such beauty by themselves

None else saw her as I did
Raven hair now shielding
Her charming classic face
In the end she looked up

Quickly looked down again
A small smile on her face
Her lips full and moving
I saw her toes wriggle

Her father must be seen
If she is to be mine
As though she read my thoughts
She looked up and nodded

  2. There is definitely the beauty that is innocence, which is what I feel in this. I feel the expectation and even desire a bit there. Ha, the flirting a bit, even if we dont even notice.

  13. Great take on the prompt. The dimension of needing permission makes the poem go much deeper than it would have otherwise.
