WITH YOUR EYES

With your eyes
…you undressed the stress
…and carresed my mess
…to bless me until I healed from distress
…and turned a blessing

II
With your eyes
You massaged my heart
…with a message from a genuine heart
…that intrigued me
Reversing my hunt to park at your gate
…in a submission that broke a lifetime of stubbornness

III
With your eyes
You attracted my tracks
…to retract my trucks of naughtiness
Forcing a tigress into skin of a sheep
To fit into your fence of one
Leaving me questionless
…in my tamed notoriety

IV
How do suns rise there
…there, in your eyes?
How do the stars play there
…there, in your eyes?
How do you do it –
…arresting and imprisoning me with your eyes?
I am always weak when you seek me
…that I leak in meekness
…and I peak in seeking more
…so much more of you

V
I know I’ll die in the prison
…of your eyes
And I’ll blossom with the rains
…of your eyes
For they are the leading light
…in my loving travels
