All Of What Is Me

ALL OF WHAT IS ME


If you ask me what is mine,
if you put it to the point of the question,

then I answer,
without thought,
this:

What is mine,
is only mine because of your eyes.
When I lose myself in your eyes

    then what is mine,

is what is there,
inside you.

For I have left me
behind...

forgotten,
    forsaken,
         
discarded like yesterday's coffee!

~~~~~~~


All of what is me
is,
more rightly,
that which becomes me
after a moment in the light of your smile!

When you smile
I smile...
I breathe...
    Can't not!

When you smile,
the sun rises on my horizon
and life on my barren planet begins...

  When you smile your sunlight,
that which I was
never was.
That which I was,
was before you.

All of what is me,
what I will become,
is the promise in your eyes!
