I close my eyelids and caress my eyes
as you caress me with your softest stare,
vision of you within me. I reply
with smiling glance, admire your slender bare
frame fashioned like a silk scarf around me.
I close my eyelids and moisten my eyes
as your mouth moistens mine. Our tongues flow free
like serpents searching for redemption. Why
we open like flowers to light, seers
perhaps can say. I only know my flesh
somehow melds with your flesh, a life deeper
within us than one life alone. How fresh
the night air now. I close my eyelids. You
close yours. We float in a sea of dark blue.
