You embrace me,
with your eyes.
I breath your air,
when our eyes lock.
Dangerously, I let
my guard down, and
for a second, while we
stare I let myself be
yours.
Then, I look the other way,
you also do the same.
Your voice, sweet tone,
brings me around the world.
You embrace me,
with your eyes.
I feel your warmth.
Deep in my soul we
travel, but a minute it
takes me to give it all.
Then I turn my face away,
hidding my guilty look.
Again, we stare, and for
a moment, who cares?
We only matter, and for
a split second, we succumb
to our intensions. Coming
back from this trip, silently.




A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.

Eyes are the windows to the soul, are they not?

Very romantic write, walker! I enjoyed this!

do I believe we'd be better off apart?
can I see my world without you in it?
baby, not for a single minute...

Walker:

I LOVED this poem! I know exactly how this feels. Wish I could only be "dangerous" enough to let these feelings I have take life and be true in the open. Glad you risked getting caught, it sounds like it was worth it even if it was only for a moment or two.

I so understand that momentary locking of the eyes and then the...looking away. Very well done.
