Blue Eyes
Icon famous as stained glass
with bluish hue that’s found in Chartres
recalls the icon hors de classe,
Ol’ Blue Eyes, aka Sinatra.
From his eyes poured an infusion
of blueness, melting with his voice,
synesthetical illusion
causing lovers to rejoice.
“My way, ” he would love to croon,
and still today is heard on vinyl,
romantic, reaching for the moon,
his eclipse still far from final.
Revised from the original:
Stone icon famous as stained glass
with bluish hue in Chartres
recalls the icon hors de classe,
Ol’ Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra.
From his eyes poured an infusion
of blueness, melting with his voice,
synesthetical illusion
causing lovers to rejoice.
“My way, ” he used to love to croon,
and still may sing on vinyl,
romantic, reaching for the moon,
though his eclipse is final.
