Kohl​-​Rimmed Eyes

from The Krakatoa Sessions by Megan Lynch

/

about

A love for silent screen comedians that can never be consummated.

lyrics

Kohl-rimmed eyes
Oh, how romantic!
Those kohl-rimmed eyes
They've got me frantic
I croon
I swoon
I moon
Those eyes, that face
Have brought me to ruin

Black slapshoes
Who could've known
That my heart they'd bruise?
I thought it was my own
That hat
Brickbat
Those spats
I know you'll give them
Tit for tat

I fall in love just like falling out of bed
It's a habit
But with each pratfall I thought I'd laugh 'til I was dead
Dagnabbit

White-washed face
It's got me sighing
All over the place
I'm nearly dying
I yearn
I burn
I'm a furnace
As my stricken heart
Quickens its pace

Slight pursed lips
They're so inviting
Those dancer's hips
And there's no fighting
I saw
They draw
They're law
They're nothing short of worthy of awe

When I saw your bean on that silver screen
It was magic
Though smooth as silk
You're a vanished ilk
I find that tragic
