Those things we come to look forward to,
How Your Eyes Search For Mine
By Tyler Lucas Mobley
How your eyes search for mine whenever you smile,
sends my heart away then I have to chase it back. Home
in sight after 7 years at sea, treasures spill onto shore.
Puts a loudspeaker to the statue of David’s internal dialogue.
When our eyes meet, lifetimes play out in the brevity.
How your eyes search for mine whenever you smile,
makes me the path of butterfly migration, an edge
where water falls, places me on cusp of day, I’m carried
around the world, passing hellos to pageant humanity.
I’d know they were coming, and be glad when they did,
how your eyes search for mine whenever you smile.
