eyes

her eyes tell me nothing.

in dry silence they stare back at me, golden in the sunlight.

it's the darkness which surrounds them that speaks her truth.

How To...

Her eyes you ask? Well, once I got close enough to get a good look. My heart was pounding and my legs shook, It's that surreal moment when you're both staring into each other's eyes. You know, they know, you both know what happens next. It was slow in motion. There wasn't music playing; however, for some reason when I think back I hear "I Can't Help Falling in Love," the Haley Reinhart version. Anyways, her pupils sucked me in like black holes. Her hazel irises are colorful galaxies except better. As I stare, I see meteors colliding and stars gazing back at us in jealousy. Never realizing that her eyes were reflecting what was happening around us. When our lips touched the the planets, including earth, itself started to turn to dust. Almost like an hourglass but the grains of sand just vanished. Finally, it took us by surprised when the very ground below us disappeared. That's how you fall in love. And if you're lucky, you never land.
