In your Eyes …


1.


As another day recedes,

enveloped under the shawl of night,

allow me to drown,

in your eyes.


Moments fleeting,

fickle hands of time unseeing,

allow me to seek solace,

in your eyes.


The trodden path littered with each shard,

regrets this heart wishes to discard,

so allow me to seek refuge,

in your eyes.


i have walked through twisting boulevards of life,

seeking simple joy, away from desolation, strife,

so allow me to find peace,

in your eyes.


2.


In your eyes,

i find,

the gentleness left behind,

away from superficial smiles,

away from fatigue of the walked mile.


In your eyes,

i feel,

at home at long last,

your love caressing away the restlessness of the past,

stepping out of the shadows to embrace pure contentment,

though a bit player,

in your life’s theatrical cast.


In your eyes,

i touch,

the flame of promise radiating through your loving light,

that is why,

i no longer dread,

the vacuum of encroaching night.
