Like lakes of deepest blue,
Those eyes draw me into you.
You laugh and flirt; I just stare.
You bat your lashes, twirl your hair.
But you aren’t the reason my gaze won’t stray.
I see my reflection and can’t look away.

This is wonderful. The whole piece is wonderful. I appreciate the flow of the whole as composed from the minutiae of each word, phrase, and line.
