In The Sunrise of Her Eyes

Fill this emptiness inside my chest

Loosen this iron knot of Fate

The voice of living waters will never cease

This anguish presses soon nor late

I’ll recede into her warm embrace

Disappear into the depth of her eyes

These feelings I can’t erase

Please free me from grey mocking skies,

For I am paused in a journey

Seems an eternity between two breaths

I search for the answers

That may haunt me till my death

Like a whisper in a melody of silence

As graceful as the morning mist

In a dream of dew washed mornings

Why must love come with such a twist

Now, the present fades to blue

Every moment passes to the past

Lost horizons rise on through

Tears of desire hang on to the last

Time…we didn’t have

Slipped away like night toward day

A certainty of loss

I just get swept away

I tasted the salt of tears

Drowned in love’s debris

I have lived through the fears

I just didn’t foresee

How the sun also set

In the depth of her eyes

Now I weep in the darkness

Filled with unending sighs

I have stared through the dark

Till my soul was blind

The voice of night

Still plays through my mind

Echo’s voice is forlorn

In dreams soothsay

My heart, anguished torn

Can’t live another day

Let death be my release

If love can be a curse

When the whisper of her voice

Is only an echo of the worst

It was a fate I could not avoid

I could feel it, taste it like the rain

I embraced it for awhile

Now only memories remain

My sorrows are too dark

For day to know

Time’s un-hasting stride

Won’t let her go

So I hide deep inside

A wall of denial

The memories, the pain

Will linger for awhile

Through the soft silence

Of listening night

I’m set free to wait

I long for her sight

For I know for me

The sun will only rise

When I wake…

In the sunrise of her eyes
