Your Sinful Eyes! Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

I was there looking at you
and you were looking back at me,
your eyes told me
it was the beginning
of a new love story;
I did not believe it
until you took over
the charge of my emotions
and my sheer imaginations.
You were a mere fascination
you were yourself fascinated
by my innocence,
as I was standing there pretending,
hoping you would go
and never return;
and though you went away
you came back more assured
that your destiny was with me.
I shuddered as I looked at you
your confidence was like a big oak tree
that came crashing on me
destroying my freedom;
and every time I tried to find
the truth in your eyes,
you looked away;
I knew you were sinful
and so were your eyes
the more you evaded
looking back into my eyes
I felt you were avoiding the truth
as you kept asking yourself silently
whether you could love me enough.
you had nothing left to give me
except your poor flirting heart.
you had given everything away
except those sinful eyes
that had captured me,
captivated me until I drowned
into the passion of your evil kisses
that without restraint I complied
to the destiny you chose for me;
was that not an unfair game
your sinful eyes played with me and won?
