Vision

relfected back haunted eyes
mirror in the cascade
of eternal endless seconds
where I am lost
in the millennium
of you

the eyes move me
beyond recognition,
pass the whispers
of my crowded youth,
travel the road
where our feet have met
and our bodies twined
in the arts of redemption

i watch the eyes
like the cat follows the flame,
pause for a moment
and let you see me
not as i want to be seen
but as i truly am

you do not seem to mind

the eyes dance as we thunder,
soul riders who marvel
at the conception
that another could understand
our path,
nod,
and say, "yes,
i have been there"

i reflect this destiny
that stands before me
like a crystal goddess
in seach of a place
to lay those wondrous eyes
which are you
