Knowing Glance

that look of knowing the way God looked at Eve after she bit into the apple is how you look at me a look which awakens me to knowledge knowledge I am naked I see you looking inside inside my thoughts inside my soul and I close my eyes as if to hide the bitten apple and when I open them you're still there knowing me knowing I love you knowing I am helpless and vulnerable loving you and when I feel your look bearing deep into my heart engraving your name there I feel I should hide cover myself with leaves as Eve hid in the garden ashamed I am weakened by your knowing glance
