LOOK ME IN THE EYE

 
Look me in the eye,
Woman.
Let me not lie to you;
Not now.
Not how I feel about you.
Make it easy for me,
Woman.
To share with you
The secrets of my soul.
Make me whole.
Open your heart to me,
Woman.
Let me understand
Who you really are.
Let me comprehend
All of your very real frustrations;
Your elations;
Your fears
And all that you hold dear to you.
Share with me,
Woman
Your inspirations
Your aspirations.
Your bold ambitions.
Your dreams
Your schemes
And your most fantastic fantasies.
Fly with me,
Woman.
Just for this one magical moment
To a time, a place.
To a space and a feeling called sublime.
Its our time.
Brief as this may be.
But it will pass.
It will end.
But by then,
I pray that you'll be
My most precious friend.
