Eyes of the Night

I left in your pain,
eyes of the night telling all.
Myst surrounding me,
a season's warmth
undressing my thoughts,
silence a replacement
for the strength of you.

I rode my thoughts,
placing you beside me,
hand resting on my knee,
calming my soul. The starkness
of the night overwhelming,
reigning me in, shades of blue,
as eyes looked my direction.

I walked away,
looking over my shoulder
closing the door behind,
remembering, knowing, feeling,
believing, in the pull of the moon.
Climbed the stairs, memory by memory,
shadows to follow.

I glimpsed you in my dreams,
holding each moment's touch
before me, eyes caressing eyes,
lips coveting lips, veiled by words
felt through fingertips, pressing my mind,
'til time disappeared and
the eyes of the night closed in.
