Extramarital Affair

When I look into your blue eyes

Losing myself in them

Your eyes sparkling and reflecting light

The light of both happiness and pain.

I think I know how you feel

Although I pretend sometimes

Yet you remain to me a mystery

A girl with a history different from mine.

What pain have you been through?

What pleasure makes you smile?

What you think and believe, love and hate

Your enigmatic eyes sometimes lie.

And forever I can lose myself in your smile

In your eyes, like a word in a thick file

Yet, I will always be yours, always there,

Only if you give me a sign.

But something holds you back

Prevents you from speaking out your heart

Like Mona Lisa's smile, and other enigmas

You remain to me sublime.

And then when you say you love me

Your golden hair tangled in the wind

I know you are true

But yet in your eyes mischief's glint.

Like you are mine but yet free and wild

Like you are full of zest for life

And cannot accept ties that bind

And what we are you can't define.

I'm ready to leave her for you

It'll be my sacrifice

Lost I am in your stares

The mystery turns me blind.

And I think of you always

See you in my mind

You're my inamorata, my soul,

The breath that keeps me alive.

I'll leave everything for you

My honour, my commitments, and my wife

For love her I don't

I'm selfish, unkind.

But that mystery in your eyes

Those enigmatic words I can't define

Those strange smiles when you kiss my lips

Makes me feel alive.

Is it not enigma we seek?

Stories that keep us thrilled

There is no joy in the mundane

And alas none in my wife.

So divorce it will be

I leave her for your arms

Maybe someday the mystery will stop thrilling me

But maybe never till I die.

I can't be happy but with you

Can't breathe as I lie to my wife

I'll leave her for you, I swear

Only if I understand the glint in your eyes.

Do you love me?

Tell me you do.

A mystery to be unravelled you are

Am I the only one or are there a few?
