Eye Contact

eye contact is so very intense

too much is an embarrassment

so I only do it in short snatches

this letting you inside my tent

and penetrating yours

implies a promise of more

and a promise should be kept

or what’s the connection for

I can’t make a promise to you

though perhaps I don’t see it true

does it mean much more to me than you

am I like little boy blue  

you see my soul is just a hole

and it could yearn for you

so I will not look into your eyes

that’s something I don’t dare do
