The Eyes

Her silhouette robed
the face veiled
save the eyes --
ageless eyes
timeless eyes.

"Welcome to the Temple,
I shall be your guide,"
said the eyes --
ageless eyes
timeless eyes.

"There lived Neruda, here lived Camus,
And there! There goes Coelho,"
showed the eyes --
ageless eyes
timeless eyes.

"If you want to read them
read my eyes,"
smiled the eyes --
ageless eyes
timeless eyes.

"The eyes are so pretty
how about the breasts?"
I asked the eyes --
ageless eyes
timeless eyes.

"Go away, you scoundrel!
You have defiled the temple."
screamed the eyes --
ageless eyes
timeless eyes.

"Tell me, O lady, did Neruda
live and die here looking
only at these eyes?" --
ageless eyes
timeless eyes.
