In those eyes
Your voice comes to me from afar
floating away
through the cotton of my mind.
Black vibrations that I drift from.
"Are you alright?" I hear muffled
over and over again.
Where am I?
With floor cool to the cheek
I want to embrace the darkness
just lie here forever.
Forever.
Louder.
The voice becomes clear.
"Are you alright?"
Now I can see you,
touch you
You are so close.
Those eyes?
Have I seen them before?
I am in them
(how can that be?)
Fear wilts in the corners
I smell concern
Confused, I am lost.
Groggy,
Eyes down
What does this mean?
Slowly, slowly.
"Stay there."
Clear as the night sky
as the wind whisks away
yesterday's clouds
You take care of me.
Gentle,
gentle
I can not.
I must not.
Find love in tender touches
They will not be there tomorrow
(will they?)
Then
"How are you?"
Did I hear that?
What? No.
Sigh.
Where am I now...
