HER EYES
HER EYES

I want them to be mine and mine alone! It's a mystery I can't seem to get enough of. Am I charmed,I can't say. But certainly, I keep dreaming of such eyes so you can say I'm charmed. Nevertheless, I love the way I'm captivated by her like a puppy. I know it sounds absurd for a handsome, well-built, wealthy and 5'6 man like me to be enthralled by the wimps of a roguish yet beautiful woman.

Love certainly abounds in the weirdest places like a mushroom thriving in a rotten log of wood.

You remain caught in the web of love embodied in those beautiful hazel eyes of hers like a fish entrapped in the ocean's grip but yet, swims gracefully in excitement. Not to scare you at all, love still remains a beautiful thing, a fact I couldn't dare agree with until two months ago. A time when I became reborn as a lover boy to the core.

Certainly, it was those eyes! Eyes which bore the vulnerability of a lioness pleading for shelter among the pack of wolves, forgetting that she rules the forest they both inhabit. Like a knight in shining armour rendering the services of a gentleman, I gallantly rose to the occasion until I was confronted with the unexpected and had to back down quietly like a lion overthrown at his own game.

To make it worse, his own terrain, my VIP villa which houses my top clients from all spheres of life. I think I can brag about my wealth now, at least I thought so. Until SHE coaxed me under her, and I, the MAN amongst men,became nothing but an imbecile, an ant and an obedient dog at that. Truly, I...
