The Web Poetry Corner - Doug Larson - Together, Behind My Eyes

Together, Behind My Eyes

by

Doug Larson

I close my eyes to the afternoon
bright
basking in the intense fire of the sun
my flesh bombarded by cosmic radiation
penetrating heat
and I see blue sky strangely
projected beneath my eyelids
as if it were a window to -
- where?
If there were only another world behind my eyes!
I might live one life with eyes open
another with my eyes closed
and both with my heart wide open
the joy of my tangible reality
and the compelling wonder of my fantasies together
a symbiotic biosphere for the body
and the mind

Yes.

There is another world behind my eyes
a connectivity
and a strange blue sky
an otherworldly blue
interlaced with fingers of light
like the tails of comets blazing
arced ribbons of silver
on a star dappled canvas
of dreams

NEXT?
