Your eyes have never left me
makeup or not
your eyes have never left me
I watched you pull down your lower lid
delicately flicking black something
pushing white stuff on the upper lid
teasing brows with something or other
at times gluing fake things over them
at times plucking and drawing
at times and all the times......hurry up
white, black, long, pencils accent

How, I think, can one make eyes more perfect
women try but they don't understand
it only takes a wink and a smile
no matter how much
or which color her eyes are painted
truth is in the morning
when the painting has faded
and all that is left are eyes
opening from slumber
an inch or two from each other
meeting and laughing while smiling
at all the plucking and coloring
that attracted a teenager
