Starry Eyes
Your eyes so far away, yet a place I want to stay.
You glimmer like rain on a sunny day, all my sadness melts away.

The way you move like liquid stars, to your eyes and back to mars.

All fate lies in your face, you smile, to unlock a hidden place.
A beauty no one can trace, and something in your eyes, that seems so alive, oh so alive.
And for all that you are, I should strive.

My heart can only sing your voice, not by force nor choice.

If there were no stars in sky, no tear left to cry.
I would still find it all, glittering in your eyes.

Graceful as the air, blowing through the trees, a gentle breeze.

Strong as the castle walls, standing proud and tall.

You are what I see, when I cease to be, I won't forget your beauty.

Your eyes like the darkest skies, like the brightest sun.
And when all is done, I will hear what you have sung.

You move as the water, cascading in waves.
You glitter like sun on the sea, your hair rippling, in moonlit streams.

With stars and galaxies in your eyes,
shining so bright.
If a myth were a man, you would be a proud and graceful unicorn.
With all the universe for a horn.

And you would be a dragon, soaring, strong and powerful through the sky.
Singing in dancing flames, reflected in your eyes.

And though a knight can fight loyal, and a bard can play his song.
Neither one can seem as poetic and strong.

If I were a king, on a throne of gold, with the fairest men and maidens untold.
I would melt my crown to cinders, and cast out the maidens and gold.
If only to glimpse for a moment, your eyes, more prescious than jewels, and fairer than all that can be sold.

A jester will not bring me joy, a wench will not bring me love.
I cannot be enchanted by any minstrel's song, nor the feather of the purest dove.

It is only you that can bring joy, love, song or purity, in it's truest form.
Without you I am forlorn.
My heart broken and worn, scarred, bleeding and torn.
Untill you heal it all, with your voice, your eyes, your form.

Jesting, gentle, and strong.
My soul lost for too long.
All I need is to breath, and to see, to see your endless eyes.
Starry eyes.
Dark eyes.
Golden eyes.
Stormy eyes.
All I need to see.
Your starry eyes.
