Opened my Eyes

I want to thank you for being the wipers to my eyelids

For clearing years of tears with your gentle words and deeds

You revealed your fondness, expressed feelings and showed you care

And despite of the future, I know you'll always be there.

You've opened my eyes in so many ways

I've lived in darkness for countless days

A man in pursuit of his heart

Not frightened to make your mark

Understanding my value lies beneath the presence

Buried deep in my soul – you were able to see my essence

Longing to be next to you

To re-live moments that felt true

When you stroked my hair lovingly

Held on to my every word and completed my poetry

Through engaging conversations from dust till dawn

And early morning wishes through yawns

You have unlocked my eyes

I am no longer blind

Rather, consumed by our emotional connection

yet, baffled because it developed in an inadequate duration

Humored by God's play in this

Knowing that despite the distant it'll be hard to resist..

But, in his Hand, I exist.

Knowing if it's planned it will subsist.

And if it doesn't amount to a thing

I am thankful to know how it felt – to have been wrapped in your wings

I know how it feels to be free

And now , I know how it feels to see.
