Light in my eyes

There is a light on in my heart for you,

pulling at the distance of life and love.

Becoming is this reverence and pain,

taking away the scent of fear left behind.

Walk away from the taste of yesterday,

stand in the light of this love today.

Hoping to face what is beyond your eyes,

with a look of desire cuddled in warmth.

Knowing your touch bringing me in,

asking for night to stay another minute.

Expecting the fall as your heartbeat slows,

feeling your love without a moment to lose.

Flickering candle of passion your soul,

crying on the wings of beauty my tears.

I hear each breath you make as you sleep,

protecting the only heart I can feel.

Make me the reason you’d never want to fall,

take the light out of my eyes, I’d give it to you.
