Can't stop staring

by Brenda   Jun 7, 2016


You caught me staring
but didn't look away
I was mentally
double dog daring you
not to
but I may have spooked
you
with such an intense
stare
upon such beauty-
Is it wrong
to call a man beautiful?
I think not-
for beauty is truly
in the eye
of the beholder
and I simply cannot
look away....

    Brenda,
    Men can be beautiful! I often find myself lookign and thinking what beautiful features a man has.. Such as eyes, facial sturcture, personality, ass! Dam some men have such stinning asses! ;)

    All jokes aside, I loved the layout of this and the content. Well done Brenda.

      N, thank you so much! Men are indeed such beautiful creatures. I love watching their arms while they work, it's fascinating.

    Brenda - I like this a lot! I especially like the "I was mentally double dog daring you not to"

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but the ear too, don't you think? I often read poems, like this and enjoy the sounds of the words rubbing along with other words. Now some of these words rub along better than others; much like humans, don't you think?

      Thank you so much Michael! I too enjoy the sounds also. Totally agree about words, like humans, some getting along better than others. It's like putting music to your poems like Maher did for you on that one for you. Just beautiful.

    Where good lies, men are blind to see. The beauty of man, is his thoughts.

    Brenda, a beautiful little write about that stare you give someone especially when you can see beauty inside and out. We all do to even if we shouldn't.
    I feel maybe it's about someone that holds a special piece of you too which is even better.

    All the best, Em
