We Saw Within Each Other’s Eyes

 We sat alone,

We drank wine,

We intellectualized about nothing.

Then we saw within each other’s eyes

The nature of our true being,

Then we realized our gender,

Then we communicated our nonverbal

Desire to move toward our other.

Our instruments of vision touched in softness

Suppressing our eagerness,

Our tools of manipulation searched

The pleasures of our curiosities,

We slowly lost control of our rational

Being to the passion of our desires,

We shed ourselves of that which hid our

True selves from the honey of each other’s fruits.
