Alligator Eyes
Her alligator eyes are wandering but not wavering, as they fit the crux below the tide and sliver internally, conspicuously for prey.
She’s capsulated but enchanting, her formulation gradually darting .
Steady, but a pro as her demeanour sets into synch to undergo,
the very breaking of nature’s cycle.
Sizzling from yellow to green, following a dazzling glow
from Black to vertigo.
Yet, still simmering like a virile star
encompassed by sultry shores.
Her eyes are vehement so devilish, yet pure.
Lusher pastures have never been so raw.
No purity like green, no ridicule for mean.
So easily disguised under those dark, blazing eyes, that tell no earthly lies.
She’s dazzling in the heat, she’s clever, she’s discreet, as she watches at the cost of your ignorance, and you convulse unknowingly.
Believing that now you might be magic,
but I can tell you it’s only about to become tragic, as she speaks through temperate winds:
“I’ve eyes opening up like jewels,
every creature big or small,
from yellow to the brightest green,
in the most magnificent shade
you’ve ever seen”.
If heaven defied you then your congress is now obliged to:
Meet eternity with fate,
without one last burning taste
Yet reason stands to be clear,
Without sabotaging fear.
Let it be what it will be.
Eyes of glory,
Eyes of Death.
Eyes of Evil,
Eyes distressed.
No Alligator lies,
Just one last breathe to demise.
And nothing justifies
those Alligator eyes.
Riddled with fury,
probing till rest
There’s another mission,
Another quest.
For those eyes that scour between
Love and zest.
In every predator’s dream
There is an unwinding tapestry,
A cajoling theme, a sickening scene.
An empty vessel, A sour twinge,
a feeling so compelling it leaves you unhinged.
Those alligator eyes rise up and open like the Spring of dawn,
their hypnotic and their rare
Born to outstare,
nothing beyond compares
to what was once just a glare.
Within a blink of a lid, it’s spawn
It’s diminished, and it’s gone
How could it all have gone so horribly wrong?
With the eyes of an innocent alligator song.
