These Eyes
These eyes are not jealous...,
These eyes are not jealous of your clothes...,
because they hang close to you than I...
These eyes are not jealous of your skin...,
because it encompasses your whole being...
These eyes are not jealous of your ambition...,
because it steals away your time...,
it enhales your energy...,
it consumes your breath...
These eyes are not jealous of all those you care about...,
because they share you with me...,
because they care as I do?
These eyes are not jealous of your thoughts...,
because they embrace your focus...,
they live in your mind...,
they nourish your soul...,
they depress your body...
These eyes are not jealous of your music...,
because it kidnaps your rhythm...,
it fuses your imagination...,
it fuels your instincts...
These eyes are not jealous of your anger...,
because it knows every single corner of you...,
because, like your own blood, it travels freely through you...
These eyes are not jealous of your intuition...,
because it journeys within...,
having access without permission...
These eyes are not jealous...,
They just want your absolute nearness...
These eyes are not jealous...
These eyes are not jealous...,
They just love more than they thought possible...
