Open eyes /  

perhaps in
your eyes
is there
a color
just for
me..

a blessing
never given
before

unconditionally.

a hue
of love
and laughter
and life,

a bridge between
us that no one
else can travel?

when you
cry let my arms
fall around
me,

stay within
my breath
and body's
warmth.

when you
suffer let
your soul
open
and come
to confession,

to take me in
without judgment
or hesitation.

let the moments
we share be everything,

be the trademark

in every moment
that you live.

and at night
lie with
me there
still..

in heaven's slumber.

not confused
or obligated
by love's awkward
physical desires..

be only giving
and accepting
and embracing
in our bodies
open pleasure,

in every moment
that our bodies
touch.

be my vessel
to fill and drink,

to hold and be
drunk in
the magic of
your open
eyes..

that look
into this
world and the
next.

and see my seed
buried deep
inside you.

to the place
where prayers are
answered

to the
bed where
you will
never be
alone

to cry.

last night, i met a *****.
a pretty one, in heels.
it is clear, furthermore,
that she has no regard
for the hearts she plunders,
or the lonesome souls she steals.
she fell asunder like a split tree
struck lucky by thunder
and unlucky by me.

that girl is so lovely,
though she doesn't show it;
that girl, she made love to me,
though she doesn't know it.
