OUR PRIVATE TRANSPARENCY


I offer this only to you, clear view
of vulnerability’s abyss—so
deep into my psyche one becomes two.
It’s here I wait for you. It’s here I glow
from  your every idea, translated
through each motion and mood—closed eyes focused
on all senses, deep breathing related
to faith. I marvel at how your eyes fuse
me to you. I listen to your poem’s
each phrase, follow each image unfolding
through space. I look forward to candle’s dim
light gracing our gaze, shadows enfolding
us into night. Hearing your secret dreams.
Learning this moment is just what it seems.
