WELCOME TO STARE

I kept my eyes open

Last night, in the dark.

They adjusted to the light 

That emitted from our spark.

I watched you watch me,

Our connection, insane.

As you traced my lines

By the flicker of our flame.

Your eyes held still,

hands wandered my length.

I dared not move a muscle,

Taking all of my strength.

At the end of the night,

In the darkness, I’m held.

Eyes still, your hands exploring, 

To kiss you, I’m compelled

We left it all there 

In the dark, eyes wide.

Bodies and souls bared,

While laying on our sides.

I feel the need to tell you,

Even though you are well aware.

You, in the dark,

Are always welcome to stare.
