Eyes of lovers



In the eye of the storm
Lovers sailed around him
He watched them collide
As their limbs were strewn
His boat was caught on a rooftop
The sun pierced through his pupils
His stomach churned inside him
He held his words and his mouth
Finally the storm dissipated
Leaving a sea of love in despair
He walked home and found his brother
They're all gone he bellowed
Stop. His brother said and stared into his eyes.
He would not look back.
His brother held his face.
He kissed him then punched him and walked to the door and wept.
His brother held him close.
Then they made love for the first time.

    Shame on you - 2 wrongs don't make it right !
