Gazing Sun

*Her eyes

Her eyes 

Oh those eyes...

They create something of a solar eclipse

A celestial rarity you may only look upon

When the universe permits

Rare and yet I’ve been told not to stare directly

Into the seductive light

Which makes it all the more tempting to take a peek

And become hypnotized

Once I look away from them

They become burned

Burned into my mind

So even with eyes shut I can’t help but feel her

Much like the moon dreams of her long lost lover

She catches briefly only at dusk and dawn

Living from the shadows

Of the very thing that makes her shine

To me this is not mere coincidence

And like the Fates I do not play with dice

When a jigsaw is tossed in the air

And all of its pieces land into their rightful place

I do not see chance

I see providence

 

                           I see the impossible

 

                                                            I see . . . you, staring back into me*
