Tis your eyes that nourish every atom,
every stretch of flesh,
that I have been determined to abandon,
And as your galvanizing gaze traces me,
Holoscopic patterns emerge
On this timeworn tapestry
Threaded with millions of monoscopic memories I have superficially adorned,
Rendering my heart bewildered and torn
But aspects of indecision flaunt a twice fractured oblivion
Sauntering in the shadows, avoiding recognition
Of unabridged certitude;
Your eyes unquavering in truth –
It is here in the murkiness
Where I conceal a singular cognizance
Unable to step into the thought of us,
I flail, drowning in my own brackish convictions
Ravished and ransacked by your tantalizing touches,
My heart swells, beating to the sounds of percussion
Busting the seams of the scars I so tenderly stitched
In an egregious endeavor to stay protected, to keep our souls from uniting,
I am undeserving of this —
But your love, it utterly unravels me
And I am enamored by its satiating sting
