Eyes

Slender sighs sail the depths of sensation;
wind catches each part of me on the way.
Sunrise awakes love with pure devotion
that persuades a slight reverie in each day.

An old identity, cradled within my heart
is freely captive beneath my skin.
From eternity’s very start, this feeling
of endless affection, now and again.

I embrace life and weave reality in
breath-kissed nights - inscribed
in the nature of this landscape in my eyes

The radiance of the evening sky imbibes
a scene that washes my thoughts in gentle tides;
interpretations of moon and wind rejoices
in autumn nights where truth resides
