Eye Contact

     So first of all, readers, if you haven't read this yet it's fantastic and you should check it out. At the very least you should read this before you go any further because it was the inspiration for this post and a little background is never a bad thing.
     That's about all the introduction I have for this really. If you read the background this will probably speak for itself. If you didn't...sorry. Although if you read regularly you're probably pretty used to being hit with random poetry by now. I don't have much else to say besides:

"Eye Contact"

What an odd concept to consider.
eye contact-
holding another with your eyes
when arms won't suffice.
Contact - touching
And to think, we all have contacts
not just contact lenses (which touch the eye)
but contact eyes (which touch the heart)
...touch the soul.
Maybe that's why we struggle
to hold a gaze (contact, a touch)
We're afraid to be embraced in body
let alone in spirit
by those we're unsure of.
And yet we do - sometimes - make eye contact
What a powerful, awesome deed -
How strange to think
we touch with our eyes
the things we merely see.

God bless<3
