burnt honey eyes

Yes, the title I am using is the revisionist title. I like it better, it makes the poem less narrow in application.

burnt honey eyes

burnt honey eyes, rich and rapturous.
a hunter's hunger made perilous.
eyes aglow with passion and delight.
smile affixed in soul's coherent light.
framed in dark illusions of the night.
burnt honey eyes, rich and rapturous.
the moment the fire consumes us.
I cannot look away, flesh made porous.
eyes aglow with passion and delight.
later, alone in the swirl of bright
memories, I see your smile, so right.
burnt honey eyes, rich and rapturous.
sitting in a crowd of friends, to us
there are more than words connecting us.
eyes aglow with passion and delight.
all I need is your glance to feel thrust
into the chaos of passionlight.
burnt honey eyes, rich and rapturous.
eyes aglow with passion and delight.
