Chocolate

waking up to your eyes

and how they make me

not care for sleep

although I catch them only briefly

they are my breakfast tea

swirled with honey

my crusty sourdough

scraped with chocolate hazelnut 

big beautiful sleepy eyes

milk chocolate tint hypnosis

with lids weighed heavy

stuck together

but blinking, independently

like an old robot

back to work

or a slow jellyfish

softly gliding through the rip 

the brightest brown irises

granting momentary luster 

sparking the light inside of my own

i capture every glimpse of sun

you gleam

with my photographic memory

brain film 

i count each kiss your eyelashes 

give one another

each thrust they make

when you yawn, half asleep

falling in out and between 

count each kiss i give your lids

braiding your dreams
