Across the room I see you:
white with death;
sorrowful with life.
Your eyes shatter the obsidian mists
between us
and I tremble.
I take a shallow breath;
perhaps you will overlook
my hesitance
no,
my disobedience
of your silent requests.
Your eyes penetrate me;
command a response from my lips...
I can't refuse;
I must share my life with you.
