[bodytext] => The Orb The fleshy orb in fluid rotates, Entices, admonishes, laughs and berates. Hard to imagine that it is not independent Of its master, the brain, the dutiful parent. A mirror of the soul, a well of dreams, Within its depth the hopes and schemes Of love and desire, fear and sadness’ Hate, jealousy, bereavement and gladness. I stare and am hooked, a fish on the line, Destined like herring to be pickled in brine. Fighting the lure I writhe but am caught. Am I ecstatic, enthralled or am I distraught? Such is the quandary, the power of that eye Aquamarine blue that no-one can defy. Landed and floundering, stuck in the net, Unlike the fish I am happy not upset. Held and transfixed I give up my soul To the colour, the pupil, the iris and whole Depth of the object which sucks me inside To the core of her being with nowhere to hide.
