when I look at you <br />i see an endless universe in your eyes <br />an infinite unimaginable beauty <br />that I could touch every day but might never hold <br />in your eyes i feel a consuming loneliness <br />a soft hunger, a quiet thirst <br />an invisible erosion that everyday <br />silently takes more of you away. <br />Your lips are silent <br />but they still whisper <br />the smoldering hiss of desire, <br />a pulsing cayenne ember of a passion <br />that will inflame the heart and mind of any man <br />fortunate enough to taste of their fire. <br />I sense, about you, the grey aura of loss <br />a loss of love, a loss of people, a loss of trust, a loss of belief <br />they do not belong to you, they belong to the past <br />and if you cling to them, <br />you will become what they are <br />a memory... <br />I hear the music of your beating heart <br />a cacophony of sound <br />cleansing laughter and dancing rain, <br />the pregnant pause of a tear <br />the startled joy of exclamation <br />angry rolling thunder <br />the caressing whisper of dreams <br />a symphonic, new age, one woman band <br />with a string section <br />and i have fallen in love with the composition.<br /><br />TP Sage<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-i-look-at-you-2/
