"He Kissed My Eyes"

"He Kissed My Eyes"

I must fly! I said
I want to!
I want to put my fingers around Saturn.
I want to spin and hear a whiz
around my ears and head
I want to charm it like a serpent.

Teach me how I said.
Let me know the wind and all its power.
I want to know it like my dreams describe.

You leaned forward
and kissed my eyes
put your hands behind my ears
told me to listen well
your smile covered my fears
bringing me the sound of rainbows.

Give me flowers I said.
There are a million colors to be had.
You pointed toward a unicorn
ready for my adventure
and gave me a map that led to fields of them.

Let me know the fragrance of love
let me understand its caring
I will live there.

You brought flowers from the meadow
laid them at a rainbows feet
while the unicorn listened for my footsteps.

You did all that for me.

I am not blind
but perhaps I am not seeing.
I am not selfish
yet perhaps I have not seen your tears at times
the wetness late at night that speaks alone
ones that only I could cause to flow so freely.
I spent so much time measuring your worth
I failed to see it filled the skyline.

I ran to you
fell to the ground
pleading for forgiveness.
These photographs are only of me I cried.
You held them gently and said,
I wonder if you think of me
as often as I think of you.
I only had my love to give.
I wonder if you wonder
where I am and what I do.

I melted in my own coldness
crying out again,
I meant to bring you treasures
I meant to be more caring.
I meant to be more like you.

And then he turned and walked away.
