As our eyes lock,
the moon inside my eyes
will cause the ocean
inside yours
to ripple and tide.
We will fall in love
not for an eternity,
not forever.
We will fall in love
for the time it takes
to blink,
we will fall in love
for the smallest portion
of a second.
*
Then you will go back
to your perfect mansion
in your perfect clothes
eating the finest food
with the company of
your perfect husband
laughing at all his unfunny jokes.
*
But you would have left
your heart and soul
trapped inside my eyes
hidden between the folds
of the night sky.
Nobody will know
why my eyes glow
at night.
*
And, if someone asks me
I will tell them
that I once felt
an ephemeral love,
and in that love
we lived
a thousand forevers.
