If my eyes held all the stars,
I would close these eyes forever,
Keep them safe, just for myself.
*
If every dust mote inked its story on me,
I would don a midnight blue gown,
Keep them chained, just for myself.
*
If time ever knocked on my door,
I would, with eyes still closed,
Sweep him off for a dance.
*
If he dared a look at me,
I would offer a gentle smile,
Hiding his secrets forever from him.
*
If the warmth of his hands ever coated my skin,
I would still keep these eyes shut,
Or would I? Just for myself.
*
Any second now,
He will be here,
Let me gaze at those eyes once,
Let me read another word,
Just for myself.
Then I am his.
