After a long wait here you were again
Letting me sip the wine of your eyes
Though from generosity you did refrain

It was a brief interlude—
quickly your eyes turned away
leaving me intoxicated for days and days

in that brief moment
your eyes gave in to the inevitable longing
and the emotions betrayed the
veil of demeanour under which you were hiding.

sometimes centuries are not enough to convey the implied
and sometimes it just takes a split second
and that twinkle of your eye.

Let the world rip me off and mercilessly leave me to die
but no one can ever take away
what is said between your eye and mine
