I Just Can’t Look Away Poem by Mark Heathcote

Oh, how beautiful you wear that jasmine moonlight
That subtle lit halo overhead enriches your portrait
But your eyes widow like can’t help reflect my sunlight
The eyes of a widow cannot reflect sunlight but you do
Oh, how beautiful you are, why don’t we triangulate
And make love beneath a setting star.
Oh, how beautiful you are, can’t we go into orbit
Travel the solar system and begin sharing
And begin sharing a whole new unexperienced ecosystem.
I want us to share our salad days
And drown in your bottomless wishing-well eyes
I want us to share our salad days
Unpunctuated, I want to end my winter in your shadow
And feel that jasmine moonlight glow
Oh, how beautiful, oh right now you’re so naked…
Oh, I just can’t look away
I just can’t look away
I just can’t look away.
Jasmine moonlight freezes the onset of every coming day
Coz I want us to share our salad days
I just can’t look away
I just can’t look away
From that subtle lit halo
Under that jasmine moonlight glow
Oh, how beautiful, oh right now you’re so naked…
Oh, I just can’t look away
I just can’t look away
I just can’t look away
Not now or any other day the moon turns and spins.
