You live behind my eyelids,

An image I can feel.

You walk with me and you

Dance with me.

You keep me from the dark.

Behind my eyes, your smile

Fills me with radiant peace.

---

Your lips, your breath,

I am mesmerized by

Your intentions, your

Kindness and content,

Unequivocal support.

Behind my eyes, you see

All of me, from the inside out.

---

I am bare before you,

Thoughts and dreams and

Unmet intentions, but

You love me as I am,

Filling my mind with light,

My self, your lantern,

Shining through the dark.
