to You
Surrender wasn't a decision.
Your eyes didn't ask—
I couldn't look away—
adoration, desire,
Your gaze slipped me away—
perfectly, to You.
Your eyes didn't ask—
I couldn't look away—
adoration, desire,
Your gaze slipped me away—
perfectly, to You.

Author's Note
Your gaze—
I dissolved.
Here's an earlier version of the poem:
Surrender wasn't a decision.
Your eyes didn't ask—they saturated.
I couldn't look away—
adoration, desire, Your gaze
slipping me away—so perfectly, to You.

Ah, the gaze.
So interesting to see your process and the arrival. I've been watching Richard Burton movies and I can see him saying/articulating both to great effect.
Your love poems resonate sincerity. I admire your economy too. Fine work.
Thanks so much!
