I begin watching a YouTube Short
I see a young couple beginning
to dance to an old Chubby Checker
song The Twist
as the dance begins, the attractive
woman with beautiful eyes
is looking into the man’s eyes
in a way that’s predatory
but in a predatory way
that any man who lives and breathes
would gladly fall prey to
I’m remembering the power
in a woman’s eyes when she
deigns to look at you with interest
and how that single look
can melt even a strong man’s heart
and render him almost senseless
lost in the mesmerizing power of those eyes
and, oh, how I’d love to feel that power again.
