I Cover My Eyes
Written and read by Thinair.
I cover my eyes so I cannot see
But inside I feel it breathing in me
I look to the left, I look to the right
But see nothing of no-one without any light.
A river it rises after the rain
Overflowing to bursting, without any pain
I cover my eyes so I cannot see
You… looking at me
Blind, I feel you standing there
The heat of your body, the smell of your hair
The steady look of your steady eyes
Your breath repeating that steady rise
If I had two hands I’d reach out and touch
But I need my hands much too much
They have an important job to do
To stop me…looking at you
I know you’re laughing at my smile
I want to peek, but I'll wait a while
In this moment warm and black
I know I love you, and you love me back.
