My lie in your eye

susan abraham

I live in your eye*I swim in tears when you cry*You don't see me even as I see you not see me.*And I let my silence be*I hide with all my might*curling up tight*your eyelash fingers me like a blanket*remembering how when once we met*Now I whisper only when you say goodbye and lie to dream*....you see me in the gleam of a vision*and we embrace like fire in your meditation*and a dream seeps from a whim*and I turn your thoughts to gold*before the dawn is old* and I must return again to the corner of your eye*gazing in vain, a petulant look so sly in my stardust sigh*even as I see you not see me.*
