For an eye to be
worth a second look
or a third, or fourth
of fifth
the artist must
just be creative
and know,all the colours
for with
that gift, she
prepares
from her easel an effect
that will blow any mind
she can become warrior esque
if she likes
or a goddess
the best you can find
the paradigm here
to make that small ball
look impressive, appealing
and cute
you want to attract
that is the fact
beauty therefore
at the root
a dab of glitter
a trace of gold
a little star dust here and there
some moon beams you’ve rolled
and all this you fold
provided of course you’re aware
to tempt and to mesmerize
those who are drawn
the eyes of of course
a revelatory Dawn
some shimmer some shading
hypnotic and soft
the blink of a cobra
his head held aloft
the experience heightened
avidly so
by a sweetness and subtleness
that’s going to grow
and
on anyone seeing and sharing
the prize
mascara, eye liner, eye shadow
defies
dreams,it defies everything in
the book
fine art on the face
is the ultimate hook
and men are like white bait
if it sparkles its gold
they never listen
to what they’ve been told
the magic to mezmerise
is lost on them
what they see and they
want
is that sparkling gem
YOU
