Eyes

In your eyes I  find an Eden, 

Waterfalls of love languages ,

Kindness overflowing as rolling rivers, 

Shoreless oceans of selflessness,

Existing simply to express the limitless,

Nature of your beauty,

I die a thousand times,

Resurrected in every instance, 

Born anew in the eternity,

That springs from the blessing, 

Of any passing fraction of a moment,

In which your eyes touch the light,

That mine take in, 

And here in this moment,

In this lovely, special, heavenly, flutter,

I am floating,

Feeling nothing at my limbs,

Less than that in distraction,

I am surrendered here, 

To this engulfing of my self, 

By the transe like consumption,

Of my existence,

By the divining of my spirit,

In your gaze,

In this moment being seen by you, 

I am caught between rapture, 

And bliss,

Anchored to you, tethered,

Drawn and forever at peace,

With this helplessness,

That has taken me,

Not against my will,

But surprisingly,

Complete,

And I know at this moment,

This  is my home,

I return here to be seen by you,

To myself see,

Life not flashing before these eyes,

But slowly spoken, 

Blessed by your peaceful showing,

Of heaven.
