Mirror Image
Just look at me.
We'll say more with our eyes.
Those pupil tears that come out in rivers of words
And form a lake of our breathless sighs
At our feet...
I can pull my pant legs up now
And wet my toes
With what it means.
And though at a distance
We'd still find a way
To let our streams trickle out,
Find each other
And form that ocean of cries
That soothes us today...
And though far away
We can let our cries' reflections convene,
By staring out at the same sky -
Mingle with each other
At some predestined meeting shrine.
Like two people staring into the same mirror
From different sides...
If for a moment
Their stare brought them
Side to side for some time...
Ever so certain
That two days from now
I'll open my curtain,
You'll undo yours
And we'll breathe our names out
Into the blackest obscure
So that they may mingle out
By the stars that by now shine azure
With our joy and our rue.
Yes... we'll send them out
Into the blackness so pure
Of the night
That eats away at the dawn of our thoughts
Just to capture our light.
And though a space jump away
From a touch
For the better.
I can honestly say
I'll ride out the sun
And all of its luminous rays
Til light-years bring us together.
