when two humans meet

​

When two humans meet

Face finds face 

Eyes see eyes

Eyes

 

See

 

Eyes

 

Nose

Lips 

Cheeks

Dimples

Smile

Lines

Are Crossed 

In the sky

There are stars

In their eyes

There are stars

 

They can’t look away

The mutual blinding

Is binding

They are locked in a trance

In space the stars dance

 

The two become a microcosm all their own

Learning each others’ languages

Then generating a new one

Becoming fluent 

In one another

Their dialogue 

A delicate dance 

A cordial caress

 

Hands sweep

Hands reach

Thoughts creep 

In

Two

Three 

Four 

Out

Two

Three

More 

Both confining the quiet wish

That this music never ends

So they can dance until the end of

Time 

Does Not Exist

A star lives for billions of years

 

So how can one 

Neglect a 

Galactic glance

They are not immune

To the magnetic pull of 

The Earth 

They are strong 

But the universe

Is stronger

 

The happiest of accidents

The rightest of wrongs

 

When two humans meet

And their eyes glimmer with the specks of stars

That glare so bright

They can’t look away

They know

No amount of stargazing or surveying 

Will crack the cosmos

Give the astrologers a go 

But as for them

Let all they understand be 

This–
