Immortality

There are moments

When I see, mirrored,

In your eyes

A reflection of the recondite emotions

That flow through my veins

But then you brush away my hair from my brow,

And tuck it behind my ear,

Just to reaffirm

That the speck of moisture

In my eye

Was not born of desolation. 

These are moments,

When you show me the meaning 

Of immortality...
