How Clear Your Eyes
I can feel you here
And I know that you know
i just want
.
it creeps up on me
The little things accumulating
Floating puzzle pieces finally fitting together
My ah-ha moment a spark searing through me
As I breathe deeply in and out
A tender sizzle sorta feeling
And I know then that you are with me
.
The soft blink of your steady gaze
Finger in mouth for no reason
Pulling on your lip
I stay quiet in my mind as I stare
.
Later on I will feel astonished by how affected I am
It is a squirming wincing thing
Embarrassed and yet delicious
Hunger tickling like a needle
Tracing the surface but never breaking skin
A secret between myself
.
Fluorescent lights and the human pens we find ourselves in
My eyes on you in the cold light of day
Can I still study you now?
After the swirl has run through me in a solo twilight
I bury myself then in the thick folds of blanket
Face pressed in, heart beating loud in my ears
Do I dare?
Embrace the Paradox
