You are the Universe
We sat on the roof
That warm summer night.
Space was above us
But the cosmos were in your eyes.
Your eyes were like the universe,
Made of stardust,
That twinkled and gleamed whenever you smiled.
Your eyes held nebulas and galaxies
As you stared into the eternal infinity above us.
A vast abyss of overwhelming beauty
Was the purgatory
Between you and the heavens.
As you rubbed your sleepy eyes,
And the phosphenes enclosed your vision and reality,
The universe danced upon your eyelids.
Your pupils held the black matter,
And so I would be the scientist
That would try to figure out the sense in your eyes.
Comets soar through your retinas
As you stare into my troubling soul.
The whole universe was inside of you,
And I, a black hole, would suck you in.
You, with every interstellar cluster in your perception and being,
Would make me feel whole again.
