The night burns with
a fire -
from a billion
distant
stars.

Yet this heat rises
from your merest
touch.

The day is alive with
the suns brilliant
passion.

And yet I am blinded
by your briefest
glance.

There is nothing small from you.

With a blink of your eyes
our worlds collide -
And I am left
unmade.

There is nothing hidden from you.

You find me in the ash -
and wish me as
a diamond.

And I am left
to shine in
your
hand.

"... yet I am blinded
by your briefest
glance."

Lovers drink each other essence
with blind eyes,
the heart is enough to see
what eyes cannot show sometimes
... the clues.
Salute Ericc,
Etain.
I love this.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Eric, this is precious, sweet friend, God Bless You, within all the black and white that diamond is lying beneath the soil and once the rainbow of a smile reflects it, all becomes so colorful! (sigh) This is precious, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
