You're Being Watched

While those beautiful pair of eyes gaze
Into a universe of another pair
Your beautiful pair of marbles
Traverse across the frame, where they stop and stare


Have you ever reflected, my dear
On the possibility
Of another pair, locked onto you?
And then some more, until eternity?


While you notice, notice you, that you are being noticed?
By a few physical pairs...
And by another handful of metaphysical,
Do you sense them transfixed on you?

Not Enough

Baited breath, fiery eyes
There's a storm building up inside
You draw closer, with a look so calm
How do you conceal what I cannot hide?


Piercing my heart, bit by bit
Each second killing me inside
Do you know how you untame my mind?
How seamlessly you control the tide?


Effortless, it's how you handle what you've caused
Satiating this urge so dire
Even with a warmth, so comforting, I lose my mind
You don't merely kindle a flame, you come and set this heart afire


Stop now, I cannot breathe
Stop not, don't quell this riot within me
Pull me out of this blur I'm drowning in
While I surface in epiphany


Have you any clue, love, how you enchant?
The first one hasn't extinguished, yet already, there's more fire
Swelling my heart with a joy like no other
Causing it to weave a new net of desire

To Skippy

That twinkle in your eye
That soft coat of sky on you
Li'l baby, the moment I saw you
I knew I'd love you


You made me so happy
Even when you were being a brat
When you slept so calm in my lap
When you went berserk chasing a make-believe rat


I wish I could serve you
Pamper you, protect you forever
But here I learn I'm only being unfair to you
If I keep you through life, abandon you through the day with loneliness to suffer


You'll find a new place to go
You'll find a new heart to own
But just how much you mean to me
Will that, to you, ever be known?


My dear, li'l one, I hope you know
It's not just your being, it's your soul that's a fountain of beauty
You came into this home with bubbling joy
You left, you took along a huge part of me...
