A poem for my eyes
Dear eyes of mine.
Dear eyes of mine,
I love you more than I ever could.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry,
Just like I should,
Be kinder to you in every way I’m trying, I do.
For staring,
For so long,
I study, I wonder,
More natural light,
Less darkness, more slumber.
I wish there was a way,
Of preserving your colours,
Not the brown you chose for me,
But the shades of tomorrow’s.
Bright’s the moonshine, life is bliss,
I head to bed,
A goodnight’s kiss.
But the morning’s already,
Lighting up my room,
How could I tell,
If it wasn’t for you.
I can tell the time,
And tell stories of the past,
It’s like seeing them again,
But it’s only us two.
In last night’s dreams of mine,
I have to try and place my trust,
New lover come and stay,
For the old ones I have lost.
Through hardship love is proven,
All my youth I’ve got to live,
When too much becomes too little,
Eyedrops “wet and you shall see”.
As tears run down my cheeks,
View this question that I have,
Who knew healing’s found in weeps,
Let them go, but don’t be sad.
Sailors sail, the waves are strong,
Raise the flag and sing their song.
Listen closely to the sound,
Cause if you fall, you won’t be found.
Blue irises that lead astray,
Be aware and look away,
For if you don’t and catch their gaze,
Lids blink less, the tides turn chains.
Be aware, aware tenfold,
When mermaids leap, the water’s cold.
They claim they’re tame,
She whispers “worry you not”,
Forgotten’ll be your name,
Under the seas you shall rot.
