Keep your eyes open when you kiss: do: when <br />You kiss. All silly time else, close them to; <br />Unsleeping, I implore you (dear) pursue <br />In darkness me, as I do you again <br />Instantly we part .. only me both then <br />And when your fingers fall, let there be two <br />Only, 'in that dream-kingdom': I would have you <br />Me alone recognize your citizen. <br /> <br />Before who wanted eyes, making love, so? <br />I do now. However we are driven and hide, <br />What state we keep all other states condemn, <br />We see ourselves, we watch the solemn glow <br />Of empty courts we kiss in .. Open wide! <br />You do, you do, and I look into them.<br /><br />John Berryman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/keep-your-eyes-open-when-you-kiss/
