All In Your Eyes
Lana Vélez"Windows to the soul."
more like doors
once bolted shut
(now known as fear of recognition
once interpreted as disinterest or dislike)
now wide open
intense
inviting me
to discovery.---
When the doors to the soul
are flung open
Vulnerability can creep in,
charge in sometimes,
waving dug up remnants of past pain
warning flags
suggesting that this perfection
may be a mirage
may melt before my eyes
with a change in yours.
I struggle.---
Vulnerability isn't my enemy.
The fear of Vulnerability is.
Vulnerability
is necessary
for completion.---
I give myself to you
open
vulnerable
because your eyes invite me
to explore my soul
and yours.
I know the power this gives you.
I know the power this gives me.
I am becoming me.
I am comfortable enough now
to let go of
"me."
