I'm In Awe as a Student...

I’m in awe as a student before the pupil of your eye

Obsidian reflections cast me dark and curved wide

My second self, fractalized,

Beyond your ocean-mind’s tides

Bittersweet recollection

Of the original disconnection

For the sake of love’s reunion

Shadows from the light obscure the revelation

Of things in plain sight now raised in elevation

Awareness is waxing

Attention is taxing

My headlights dart from spot to spot on you so pretty

My nervousness so self-conscious makes me giddy

I catch myself catching myself

And return to a steady gaze

In my eyes your image is soul-wealth

Your charming visage a reflection of light rays

I somehow manage to eye a landing

In the process of handing

My soul over to observation

The nature of which simply slays me with elation

Till I just have to smile to say, “I love you because you’re you,

So different and so not me,

And yet the same in the nature of need

To share in the fruit of where good love leads.”

We must till the soil well before we can expect the bone-deep bliss

When water waves over the thirsty terrain of the mind

And the Sun shines in the midst

Of your central single Self

Manifesting in the elixir field

As abundance of health-wealth

Only our happy hearts may yield
