Past Your Eyes

Close your eyes as i do, 
                    my fingers grace                your            not-unkind  skin, 
      breathe gently, my palm                    feels your chest rise, speak softly, 
    hElLo, HeLlO, my thumb                                    brushes your lip, Open your 
         eyes, to blue-green                                        oceans, with sunrise 
             centers, shhh, open                              your eyes now, HeLlO, 
                       hElLo, I see you not for what you are, I see now, 
                                           deeper, past your eyes...
