Behind the Eyes

 
See me lift the corner of the veil
Allowing for penetrating vision
Hungering for your gentle hands to caress my vulnerabilities
And also to be trusted with yours

It’s the deepest desire of my heart
To be awake to all that we are and can be
The kaleidoscope of all our colours
Connecting as one

I ache to present myself to you – holding nothing back
To see you gazing on my naked truths
With eyes unflinching
To be wholly known yet fully loved
As only a god can do

Knowing you will fail and break my heart
Still hoping against all reason that some day
You won’t
