Brown Eyes Beware

Last night
during one of my many
insomniac fits
with my face buried deep
under my pillow
I schemed
and dreamed
Seen so many things
that looked like
what I said I needed
but my dreams were just that--
my dreams
Then I met your smile
softly simple
seemingly sincere
Ahhhh, what have we here
Had me even tangling my words
inside my head
mistyping everything
I mentally said
frantically
mentally
backspacing
and hitting delete
trying to make my thoughts
more sincere
more teasingly sweet
I'm trying so hard enlighten you
not frighten you
~laughing to myself~
I only wish to know
the sweetness of your smile
why your eyes twinkle
and if
in your words
I can stay
and rest for a while
That's really all I want for now
Excuse me if I stare
It's just that your ambiance
has so much longing there
couldn't be no wrong in there
I know it's got to be true
I'm telling my own eyes what not to do
Brown eyes beware
so much trust to be earned
so much truth to be learned

in just a simple stare
