Cognac eyes

Anushka Ramchuran
see what your whiskey eyes did

In cognac eyes

In cognac eyes
Cooling crystal dreams
Shimmering gleamed
And glimmering steamed.

There were times
They even streamed
From cognac eyes
In copious lies
Amorously.

Withheld  hopes
Her sympathies
Showed no symptoms
Found no release

Moved in a maggots maze
In a stunted liquid daze
Her stunning lotus gaze
Incongruous inchoate haze

Softly encased
In shimmering dresses
Sheltered under submissive tresses
She salutes your aggression
A toast to the Establishment's
Urgent presses.

Reporting no problems
Sashaying, paralyzed at ease,
Ashen white, eager,
Easy to please.

Play and sing
Puck clutches your dreams
Insane liquid froth
In the depths of
Wells of sombre gold
Tawny haunted green.

Come visit, come hither,
See my superimposed lies
Prescient you,
Toy apart and maul my soul
Delve deep and wide
Into my cognac dreams
