lost
in the depths
of your eyes
other writing
your eyes hint
your eyes hint
at a wisdom
not yet attained
but there
in the making
just the same
over rooftops
gazing
at the sea
over rooftops
where life
continues
without
my active
participation
my arms
for you
my arms
ache
jump shot
just when
sleep
overtakes me
the cat
jumps on
the bed
unfinished business
lies
between us
a book
half read
a meal
interrupted
a bed
unmade
words stuck
in the midnight
of our lives
wherever your eyes
wherever
I turn
your eyes
the second morning of Bayram, 2115, in Maltepe
first cup
of coffee
watching ships
at sea
the gulls
my companions
peace here
on earth
whisper my name
whisper
my name
in
dark rooms
let
me sink
into
your heart
this longing in my heart
the day ends
but not so
this longing
in my heart
Leonard Durso
