Almond Stare

An almond face
my everlasting wish
jaw and hair
and cheek and lip
and eyes, those eyes....
you stop and stare

from time to time
I catch a glimpse
of a view in my favor
but you're never there
just me and those eyes
we stare

when you're around I
I beg and hope
you'll see it
pull her out
ask her for drinks
and talk about

but you just sit and stare

She came out tonight,
long awaited
unanticipated
and you were there
the perfect storm
caught unaware

and you didn't even care

this almond face
lost all to you
will live within my soul;
it's clear when I am happy
for she comes and makes me whole
