an obsession

couldn't take my eyes off the blue eyes in the grocery store...heavy sigh

sounding like Friday night
looking like Saturday morning
a little bit
            exciting
more than a little bit
                      intimidating
a walking bowl of delicious
with cobalt blue eyes
can you hear the cacophony of an obsession forming?
there is but one certainty
my fingers will type you tonight

Author's Note

yes, it's Friday! :)

Love the last line. As blue is my favourite colour, I've always wanted blue eyes. But I'm stuck with dark green...maybe that's more reflective of my personality though haha I must have written a million of these poems over years of looking at people that I'll never know, leaving my imagination to fill in the blanks. A charming piece, with a bit of spice as well ;)

I have blue eyes....and I think looking at someone else's blue eyes can entice and mesmerize. Of course, green eyes can be dreamy too. Eyes...they are my thing I suppose! :) Thanks, my friend. Lydi**

You know, I thought they looked blue but I wasn't sure haha Eye contact is an amazing thing when the response looks positive...you strike me as one who puts a lot of stock in the eyes but I don't know exactly how...I have a hard time trying to explain these things haha My pleasure my friend :)

Cobalt, eh? Sure they weren't Lapis Lazuli? ;) This sounds like a gorgeous obsession, Lydi - love that last line!

[Lydia Shutter]

:) It's funny how we both were using "blue" words in our poetry this week! Thanks so much, Rita. Lydi**

Once again your Friday night write sparkles with the excitement of the fourth of July, Lydi. I, too, loved the last line - what a cacophony your typewriter keys must have created as you wrote this poem. Absolutely delightful, you've got another sure winner on your hands!

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you very much, Joyce. I appreciate your review. Hope you are enjoying the weekend. Lydi**

Old blue eyes did the trick... Well even if he is not that old, it's the eyes that say it all !! ( btw mine are blue too Lydia ) !

A creative muse that fired your pen into action !

the guy in the picture is actually a greek singer (huge star he in Greece! :) )
i LOVE the poem, can feel the excitement rushing to the fingers, tapping and tapping away at that wonderful energy!

I just chose a photo of a man with really blue eyes. I had no idea he was a famous singer. How funny. Thanks for telling me...and for the review. Lydi**

[Sarai Lee]

Oh yes, I love when things like this happen, when someone catches your attention and you just can't shake the thought of them. I love your words here "my fingers will type you tonight". Ha! Great way to end this, and show the writer's obsession. The one you saw sounds absolutely enticing! I love it! Well done!

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you very much, Sarai. Glad you enjoyed. Lydi**
