Eyes Open

Kiss me with eyes open

Hold my soul with your gaze

Kiss me with eyes open

Looking upon the top of my head.

Your warm lips pressed unto my forehead.

We stand in the cool winter night and I speak

With eyes but not my lips, for I wish

To soon find them frozen to yours.

Kiss me during evening traffic

Keep watch on the light

But don’t neglect my lips

Kiss me with eyes open

Kiss me with loving eyes

Kiss me where the salt runs down my face

Kiss me to heal the wound

Kiss me while you acknowledge my pain.

Kiss me with eyes open

You are not scared to see what’s ahead

Puckered lips or a silly face

Maybe a fat zit right on my nose.

Kiss me with eyes open

Because I trust you with my soul.
