i saw something in your eyes.
something in the black pupils of your eyes
when you were looking at me.
(sometimes
i sense your movement before i see you,
and then i do see you,
thinking it was you,
and then it is you)
something about the black pupils of your eyes
when you were looking at me
in sunlight.
and now at night i remember
those black holes
(alluring black hole islands in two oceans of
blue iris)
i think i could stare into those
two small holes for hours.
it seems they also are
bottomless, it seems your black pupils
from my vantage point
held some eternity of gaze;
they held your nothingness,
your nothingness without echo,
your nothingness of yes,
your nothingness of unknown,
you received me in
your inner
space
fair enough muse
who is it that knows?
i will be born in you
(c) 2008 de Vie
