I mirrored your circles and chords,
made endless triangles, unlocked doors,
span in to the black and the blue,
and time flowed like honey in veins.

In the blue, banks were broke
as I poured in to your eyes;
currents forcing us free, waterfalls
feeding the globe, gouging canyons
at breakneck speed, Earth’s crust sliced
and scored, a Niagara streaming its course.
The boulders and rocks of my life
pulled thousands of miles like dust,
and I could feel the filth of myself
cleaned in the white foam floss.
Pulled in to the pool’s dark eye,
sinking in spaces of ink,
I saw every thing, like a god,
all that I could be, all that I was
and I was scared by the sight of it.

I fell back into the room,
looking only at you,
your pupils dilating,
and the Universe expanding.

Iris to iris, pupil to pupil,
I mirrored your circles and chords,
made endless triangles, unlocked doors,
span in to the black and the blue,
and time flowed like honey in veins.

In the blue, banks were broke
as I poured in to your eyes;
currents forcing us free, waterfalls
feeding the globe, gouging canyons
at breakneck speed, Earth’s crust sliced
and scored, a Niagara streaming its course.
The boulders and rocks of my life
pulled thousands of miles like dust,
and I could feel the filth of myself
cleaned in the white foam floss.
Pulled in to the pool’s dark eye,

I saw every thing, like a god,

and I was scared by the sight of it.

I fell back into the room,

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
