Your Eyes

Life wasn't always easy
Actions of others marked your soul
You hide your face behind a veil 
Your tears you dry alone
Let me in, I want to help you feel whole

The blows did not take away the gleam of your eyes
Your spirit rises out of the vast darkness
Your demons are now your friends
Your eyes speak of mercy and strength

Your eyes so intense, you often hide your gaze
Your eyes reveal what your mouth can't say
No need to hide from me 
I don't scare easily

Let me enter your heart
Let me explore your soul
Let me submerge in the immenseness of your love

Let me in the desert areas of your soul
Where wounds still bleed day and night
I want to plant cocoons of love and hope
They will bring back life to your spirit 
They will be fresh water to your thirsty soul

Within the madness of your chaos
I see the beauty of your soul
I enjoy its divine melody 
Every time I hear your voice

So sweet is your expression yet so strong
Delicate and vulnerable you seem
Yet an untamed mare resides within

My heart knows happiness when by your side
Your warmth consumes my body and my mind
For the pleasure of your company I will fight time
As we make love we ignite
Two wounded souls no more
