eye contact

eye contact

it's all in the eyes
windows to the soul,
you look askance
catching my profile
believing i cannot see, cannot see

as if i am blinded
by some cosmic explosion
that glares across the night sky;
the gentle tilt of the brow, closed lids

as if you can avoid
my gaze, as if you could
block me from seeing
within your soul when it dances
across your face in a stationary cha-cha

thanks for the kind words :)

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
