Eye.

Eye am I.

Eye can open at dawn.

Eye can squint.
Eye can blink.

Eye can swim in an ocean of tears.

Eye can see.
Eye can stare.
Eye, when angry, can sometimes glare.

Eye can be covered by gentle hands.
Eye can be rubbed till raw and red.
Eye can be cleansed with cooling drops.

Eye can close for the night.

I am eye.

Cold.
Dark.
Mysterious.
Reflecting sun’s glint.
Mirroring the blue sky.
Suddenly,
A stir.
A ripple.
A splash.
A fish jumps out
And travels through dimensions.

Assuming that we can only experience time on a linear scale, I believe that suffering and joy can both be broken down into various opposing feelings that reflect our views on the past, present, and future.
These basic feelings are as follows:

        Desire (want for something not currently present) vs
Contentment (acceptance of present circumstances)

        Fear (belief that the future may be worse than the present) vs Hopefulness (belief that the future will be better than the present)

        Lamentment (recalling negative events that have occurred in the past) vs Reminiscence (recalling positive events in the past)

In our current mortal existence, we happen upon a complicated mixture of feelings both good and bad. Many of these are combinations of the six basic feelings. For example, motivation can be explained as the desire to perform a difficult task, along with hopefulness that we'll succeed in performing the task. Likewise, regret can be described as the lamentation of a past event, along with the unfulfillable desire to change the way we had acted.
All of our feelings, in addition to our cumulative worldly experiences, help us define what we call "life".

Stupid summer bugs.
Hopping all over the place.
They always come to parties
uninvited.
But there is one redeeming quality.
They'll applaud for even the worst karaoke singer.

"Yes I can!"
Bob wrote in response
Otto had told him what he thought was the right answer
Bob had understood
but he soon wanted to ask the question again.
the predicament: Bob could write but he couldn't speak.
Otto could speak but couldn't write.
Unfortunately, he forgot about the other's condition.
He was frustrated he couldn't get his point across.
Staring intently at the paper,
Otto tried to motion the problem, until...
Bob had an epiphany and started to write again.
He had suddenly remembered that both of them could read;
Following that, Otto excitedly began to explain
that both of them could hear as well. Otto then whispered...
precisely what Bob had written on the paper,
"Can you read between the lines?"

Hold me tight and never let go,
Hold my body and hold my soul.
Hold me tight and calm my fear.
And I'll hold you too. My love, my dear.

Hold me strong and look in my eyes.
See my tears fall, and emotions rise.
Hold me gentle and hold me soft.
Cradle my spirit and raise it aloft.

Hold me when I feel hurt or sorrow.
Hold me today, hold me tomorrow.
Hold me through times of pain and strife.
Please hold me dear, you're the love of my life.

Sensitive. Soft. Skin on skin.
Satisfying.
