the intensity
in your eyes

burns my pen
as i write.

poets. have
the toughest job
in the universe-

of turning silence
into eloquence.

to be a poet means
to live
with a permanent wound

forever
susceptible
to either

the shade
of the sky

or someone's eyes.

You are the ocean to my eyes.

A single poem, alone
can turn tides
scatter galaxies
and burst forth with rivers
from paradise.

To fall in love with someone's thoughts - the most intimate, splendid romance.
