Eyes dancing around the room
an invite from one world into another
The portals from one pool of floating colour
Splashing into next door’s yard
Your eyes speak words your mouth may never utter
Your watery pools of never ending circles steal my breath
I dive straight into their depths
Glistening stories I’ll never hear
but I learn with every stroke
Each blink twisting me under a wave of confusion and desire
A stranger with eyes that don’t know mine
A hazy air of anticipation and drifting simmer of silence
Your still waters start rippling
Splashing into my pond
Polluting the clear idle I settled
Each time thinking I’m free of your ripple
And pulling currents
I swim into your depths
Now someone else has glided to your shore
And keeps the surges calm
I must pull back to mine, return to dipping my toes
Where the slow water kisses them
I must let go the urge to dive back in
