I Will Steal Your Eyes

What are you looking at?

With your critical eyes and your lined face

What are you looking at?

Surely you are not looking at me

What are you looking at?

I will steal your eyes

So that they look only at me

Do not stare

Stare not

No

What are you looking at?

I will steal your eyes.

Cool poem, Kikuyu. :-) I like the tone of jealousy that resonates with the line "So that they only look at me," as well as the uses of repetition and negative vocabulary. I think there's something odd about the way that the "Do not stare" lines follow the "So that they only look at me" line, perhaps because they seem to suggest that the narrator wants the second-person of the poem to stare at her and not stare at all simultaneously... it's an interesting pairing though. Thanks for sharing this, Kikuyu.
