The Velvet Blanket

I succumb to the dark
my eyes, heavy from the distance
I look through the velvet blanket
hoping my eyes fall to you
somewhere, where you rest your eyes
from time to time, I've seen your smile
the way it curls up at the ends
when you grin that way
I see your eyes burning through
my façade
this oasis of you
refreshes me, replenishes me
I long to sip from its fountain
Taste your intense gaze
I blink
And it's gone
