chocolate like eyes

full of brownish warmth, childlike

innocence; heart so

***

honey tornadoes

raise a potent question

raising the hair on my arms

giving birth to the fear in me

thick on the skin

fingers whisper to the tangible symphony in the air

but immobile are mine

stiff like ladyfinger

hard to bend

breaks easily

with a crack

when pulled from this end and that

your eyes look so soft

but you appear so hard

I can look into those brown oceans

only for the second of a second

for I am afraid of the stark reflection I might find
