Eyes have fooled the heart before
with many curious glances;
the glances lead to hearts in mouths
and flaming fast romances.
So quick’s the eye to register
a beauty ‘midst the clamor,
so quick’s the heart to tell the tale
of that succulent, sweet ardor.
Sugared tongues will tempt and tease
with words so filled with passion,
and fevered eyes and trembling hearts
will know no rules or reason.
But oh, so swift the fire starts,
so quick to be extinguished;
another glance, a flaw is seen
and there—the blaze is vanished.
