|| your tulip-like eyes ||

Like a bird

your eyes nurture

dreams for others

Busy searching

for joy for others

your eyes create joy

in their pure depths

Becoming lips

my eyes drink

the beauty

of your eyes

Reaching your tulip-like

eyes the fire of loneliness

dies down

From your eyes

i take the vision and power

to see and create the world

For your eyes

i would creat

a world that

has no tears

For the world

tears and water

in the eye

for you they are

the fire of pain

Of your eyes are

born dreams for

forlorn, frightened

innocent eyes

Through your eyes pass

paths of peace reaching

the unfathomed ocean

where i wash terrible wounds.
