If
I have failed to see the depths of you--
For blinded by the beauty of your face,
Perceive that beauty needs no deeper view,
Nor looks to strive beneath its shallow space--
Then my fault lies in watching stars of eyes
That gleam a universe from you to me,
In thinking that true light of love's surprise
Is all the light my eyes would need to see.
Or holding us within its captive glare,
A knowing love igniting every line--
Forever lit by surface tension's stare,
Though, to the core, I feel your heart with
mine.
In light of love, through each new word I
stage,
All those who see, see you beyond this page.
