Eyes
Your eyes they steal me away.
New silence I’ve never heard.
My path is down, it never strays,
I fall far on, as does no bird.
How do you do it?
How do you stop time in its tracks?
Keep candles dying forever lit,
Posted on walls with thumbtacks?
Break my fall, if you would please.
There’s no one there. The silence shouts.
No one hears, the blind man sees
The rain on someone’s mental droughts.
So wake me up and let me sleep
In the cool of this dark lake,
That runs of silence oh so deep
The outside world I’ll forsake.
July 2011
