Delírios, Reflexões e Ilusões Verborrágicas

There is something in your eyes, dear
that I can’t quite apprehend.
Something just beneath
the superficiality that everyones sees,
just behind the charm of your chocolate eyes.

A certain lack of defenses against me,
a certain sparkle in certain moments,
a certain look in some ocasions.

Yes, dear, there’s an unspeakable, untouchable touch
enough to keep me lingering when our eyes meet,
a sweetness still to be explained.
