He Kissed My Eyes-Bringing Me the Sound of Rainbows
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 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.
