The Breaking Sky

by Geleny Feliz
(New York)

Upon the sky on which I gazed upon
the line between life and death,
your shimmering eyes met my gaze.
that delusive stare
that would drive a person to love
all of your being.
my mouth spoke the words
that have been holed up inside me
since the beginning of time.
but for me, time has no meaning
as long as you're beside me
even though you're just gazing
at the breaking sky.
