Give Me Your Eyes

Give me your eyes
let me see them
wide
so wide
and full of ethereal light
from another star
the universal bosom
opens and is spent
sucking at the breast of all that is needed
woven like a basket
of earthen hemp and wonderment

Give me your eyes
let me lose myself
let me die a thousand times
in a peaceful sleep
floating out
onto the fields of God
where only the angels tread
on a planet made only for them
the pulsating of energies
not yet discovered

Give me your eyes
let them drift
let them hold me
let them stay
let them hover over me
like orbs of volcanic doom
like time set in reverse
from the hearse to the first touch
the union of skin
the sweat of compromise

Give me your eyes
and let me dive
deep into the entwined memory stems
further flowing from the universal framing
when before the void
stood God
looking upon us in much the same way
with wonder
with hope
with the eternal fears
of imperfections
in you.
