There is a game we play

Glancing within one another’s eyes

Imagining the ticket to their soul

We mirror activity in design

–

Extending limbs our bodies

Become intertwined outside

Of yours or my reach

Yet closer still the moment.

–

We seek to depart from ourselves

Reaching out to connect

A surreal travel

Using quiet windows to extend

 

The notion that our spirits may cross

Into a world not distant

Yet within reach; travel with me

Our journey is desire and passion

 

In a certain mix of trust and reliance

Upon each other to guide

Our souls along a mysterious

Reckoning; innocent and free.

 

One initiates and the other

In submissive respect steps

Into the eye’s notions

And together memories engage.

 

How often we might question

Our unique pains

Our individual

Struggle?

 

We are compelled to climb

Alone without a proper grasp

Prevents our fall.

Instead, our inside’s surrender

 

Yet in this moment

As our eyes guide our travels

The clarity of a sojourn

Embraces elegance and marvels.
