When You Closed Your Eyes

When You Closed Your Eyes

Distance is a paradox of time for lovers
bound together across the boundless sky
by transcendent threads that tie two lives
to the same circle of the spawning moon.

I guess more than anything else
it is thoughts of the dappled moments
when you closed your eyes
that I hang like photographs in adoration
on the walls of these missing nights.

Still frames when a second becomes
the infinite blue mirrors that fold space
and I am with you again in breaths held
longer than the tail of a comet.
