For the girl that made me fall in love with her. Even if it's temporary. - Katlego Joy Molokoane
I roughly took your face in my hands, and forced you to look into my eyes, expecting to see death and despair in yours. Instead, in those eyes of yours, I found my serenity. And not that artificial kind. The one you're sold? No. I stood in your mercy, immediately seeing a cloudless sky, your brown eyes mimicking the sun as it began to thaw the ice that once was my heart. A serenity so peaceful, I was too enthralled to move, fearing that anything I did would cause this mirage to disappear. Your eyes held the answers I had been trying to find in myself, but was too scared to look in case I stumbled across the Pandora box that held my demons. Your eyes were a mirror to myself. However, I looked quite different than what I usually did. In those eyes of yours, I saw a good that could have never nestled safely in the bare branches of my soul. These branches had suddenly began to be sewn with the colour of green, the earth around them being showered by the tears I had starved them of before you made me see my barren existence. In your eyes, I saw the origins of religion. Or was it men kneeling in your name? Is that not all the same? I thought to myself, without any hesitation, that I would gladly fall in allegiance to you, and kneel willingly along side those very men.
No death. No despair. And a soul bountiful beyond measure.
That is what I saw in your eyes.
That is what I saw in you.
