Let me be the treasure in your eyes
The object of which you wish to espy
For now, let us love, heedlessly in lies
Before all facades recede, by-and-by.
This glimmer of gold is but the dust of dreams
The beguiling hope of a universe star-seamed
Of your own promise thrust in me
The caged thing which will be set free.
And again you’ll know I was but Pandora’s box
For a while, you the key and I the lock.
If only we could relive the promise and danger of a passion first encountered.
But would you want to be as blind again? 😉
