Headshot
Few constants in my life,
but back before I knew
myself
I loved a man
for his green eyes.
Let me now linger on yours.
Hardly green
for all the brown and gold
hidden in unmatched patches
But pull away, free you
from my scrutiny.
Call them
green like his,
but with the benefit of your long lashes,
pink lips curved up at just
one corner.
Your freckled skin follows the curve
of your neck, continuing
to so many places his skin
could never dream of.(The last line is not supposed to be small, but the formatting is being very screwy tonight.)
