#dilate
A certain quality of softer light prescribed, two points in the day are offered to allocate. Regenerative from the back of each eyelid, heat fed into the veins as it self designates, this heavenly state settles our frame of mind. You can pause, vacate or choose to meditate as reflective thoughts are caught through play. Seconds lost merge into magical moments, when there is no cost to slip away outside. Pupils dart and dilate as we contemplate, bright beams of yellow turn amber red on sight. Watch in wonder at the view from our third eye, helping transport and connect us to the divine.

I’ve heard that pupils dilate when looking at something you love. After 116 days you called and I didn’t want to talk but you insisted so I interrupted and asked what color my eyes are. I even told you I wish I had my mother’s green eyes envious of my sister for getting to wear them, and that on a lucky day a bit of shamrock can be found in the muck of my eyes. After that I’d widen my eyes, and ask what color they were that day. You’d always say green, telling me exactly what I wanted to hear. I could never forget the icebergs you call eyes because they never did change in size. So a week later I called and told you exactly what you didn’t want to hear. And I no longer mark days lucky or unlucky based on what I see others seeing in me.

Last Call
I think I love too easily. I find it so simple to pick out the best traits in somebody. I like to know what makes people tick and what makes their pupils dilate. I can fall in love with the way they talk about their favorite shades of color and the way they pick out groceries. I am interested in the way people take their coffee and if they prefer tea better. and why herbal caffeinated I find myself loving people for their laughter and the crinkles beneath their eyes when they smile. And I think it’s so cute whenever they suppress their grins when they think of something funny or memorable. I love the way people talk about life and what’s on their mind; it’s nice to know that there is more more to discuss than the sounds on mattresses and the type of plant they inhale. You are beautiful. I love the way people spill their hearts out when they’re happy or when they’re sad. Sometimes, when they don’t let me love them, it makes me want to love them even more. And even when they don’t love me back, I still continue to love.

love like no other
You are as bright as the sun, but my pupils will always dilate for you.
