“Through each other’s eyes
we are privileged…
or is it cursed…
to witness one another’s souls…
reaching out to us,
with the soft tendrils of
unabashed honesty…
within each other’s eyes
we can feel
love
loss
sadness
anger
…
we can witness truth…
honesties that otherwise
would remain 
unknown
in world
of words…
our eyes
provide
portals
of breathing
vibrant 
thought
unchecked by 
inhibitions
taught to us by
life…
no matter how hard we try
to turn off these portals
of intimacy
they remain,
stripped bare
leaking 
our true reality
into the one
we so carefully construct.
our eyes read each other…
and allow us to be read.”
