Italian Eyes,
In which
all of the world's beauty
And all of
its pain
Is
contained,
Its beauty
as reflected in the perfectly sculpted contours of your face,
Its pain
as concealed within,
Piercing me with such intensity
That I am mesmerized and troubled and bewildered and wonderstruck,
All at the same time,
Such is your power,
Such is your magic,
Such is your magnificence,
Italian Eyes.
Piercing me with such intensity
That I am mesmerized and troubled and bewildered and wonderstruck,
All at the same time,
Such is your power,
Such is your magic,
Such is your magnificence,
Italian Eyes.
