I Closed My Eyes Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

I closed my eyes
Yet I continue to see
Through the vastness of consciousness
My eyes are extended
In the thick cloud of dreams
My eyes are present
In the darkest hour of sorrow
I am always with you
It's not that I am extremely sensitive
I just happen to be there
When tears well in your eyes
I feel them through the fibre of my being
I have tried many times to close my eyes
But all I feel is you
In the Silence of my being
You are the face of existence
In the emptiness of my existence
You are the tree of life
I feel your joy in my face
Like a breeze rubbing the cord of my life
I feel your smile as it flows through the fibre of my being
I am not alone in the bowl of my existence
I am always encapsulated inside the fibre of your being
I am always attached to the garment of your life
I think the umbilical cord of your existence extends into my heart
Where it's attached to the fibre of my being
I cannot close my eyes
Even when I try
I will always see your face
You are the womb of my existence
You are forever the ocean of my being
I am in your everlasting embrace
I am forever in Love with you
You are my everlasting dream
