Sunrise Eyes

Like a child I foolishly gaze into your sunrise eyes

Finding a blinding vision of a new day

Where everything fades to black but the yellows of your incandescence

The holy color that sanctifies the black of our sacred skin

Might I lose sight in the blissful haze,

With my eyes closed and my heart open,

The weight of your wavelengths’ warm embrace

Would guide me back to you
