.
A captive
of your expression.
Never wanted to be,
but here I am.
Trapped
in your gaze
for a minute,
stretches longer,
a sentence of eternity.
I was just a lonely beam of light,
now, I’m shining,
captured by your eyes.
Describing the whole universe;
immaculate disguise.
I’m wearing you.
for a moment,
before you realize,
then I am gone.
A photon’s life.
Journey through your mind
and out the other side.
Just a butterfly mote
in the net of your iris,
reflecting everything.
You see me,
and we see
infinite possibilities,
terminating in clarity.
