Lust Of The Eyes Poem by Lubinda Lubinda

From quite a short distance
I could feel her warm temperance
and when she came closer,
I felt her tender embrace
as she gazed, cheerfully upon my face
so, I reciprocated with a shy smile
as I beheld her dashing eyes!

Bedazzled, I was captivated
by the colour of emerald in her eyes
as she continued to look steadily into mine!

It was then that my eyes
started to course through hers
glancing at them once,
twice or even thrice
before moving to other parts of her body
and they eventually rested upon her thighs!

I don't know what overcame me
as I stared at her beauty
because there was nothing to restrain me
but the bond that we shared
that wouldn't have allowed
me to look at her
with eyes, obviously, beaming with lust
for fear of betraying our friendship and trust!

But, given the circumstance
and her appealing glance
I gave in to desire
and I did the opposite
in the moment of sheer bliss
I leaned forward and gave her a kiss!

But, to my surprise,
she made me realize
that what I'd done was wrong
as she hit me with a hard slap!
telling me she wasn't flirting
as she firmly looked into my eyes that were hurting
she'd just come to bid me farewell!
