Watching You With My Eyes Closed

Might I have fallen from such great heights
Concussion of the heart, weeps red
Images of deep sea green play a haunting song
Within my mind, that I am swept there with the tide
Not to drown, but to be weightless and refreshed
Serenity is a priceless treasure, conjured in character
Of Isis, riding bareback in the wind, my dreams come
Laying on the fire of the sands, playing catch with the stars
An original, in all details of soft white sun and gentle rain

That you remain, the secret of my soul
Predicts a future path, where we meet in gaze and melt
For time again, closer still, we call by heart to each other
Adored, you are adored.  Nothing could change that in my eyes
All that I want for you, I want for myself because of you
My mouth still moves to insatiable need, sensing by a plead
Tugs upon the happy vision, where once stream met stone
And chilled clear water rose, astonished breaths to peak, wanting
When my mind, merely by scent, explored your flanks glistening
A journey I would make again, and again

I am not lost, though I would not hold your hand and not your heart
Laying roses on your bed, making love games to be read, affection said
Releasing what the past left sharply and giving my gold for your shield
My love is true, and all the more discovery reflectively
Each day I pray, watching you with my eyes closed

nicely done...thinking of how much we can actually see when we stop to close our eyes...captured by the title...captivated by the write...

Well, I'm certainly pleased that I kept my eyes OPEN when I clicked on this post! I wouldn't have wanted to miss a scintillating word of it!
