I close my eyes and see

I close my eyes and see
The warmth of the sun on my skin
Its shifting yellow and oranges
Stroking my eyelids carefree

I close my eyes and see
A thousand rainbows dancing
At the tip of my eyelashes
Vying to break free

I close my eyes and see
The beating sounds of train wheels
Heart of a machine
Walking me to London Bridge

I close my eyes and see
The caresses of the wind
Creeping cold October embrace
Wrapped along my exposed body

I close my eyes and see
The sweet smell in the cup
Tickling my nostrils
With a thick mango lassi

I close my eyes to see
A world of senses
Language unseen
Rooting me in that space
The time of an instant.
