Dark Sunglasses



Because, they hide those lines that betray my age.
and silence everything my eyes have to say.

Because, through dark sunglasses clouds appear defined,
and no-one need know, the Sky occupies my mind.

Because I get to read you and the life you lead,
An anonymous spy fulfilling an unspoken need.

Because in the watching of you and all that I see,
I hope no more , than to discover a little of me.
