YOU TO ME

These shadows that make your eyes shine,

Brightly lit with darkness;

Shimmering in their eerie glee,

Strangeness to some but beauty to me.

This black abyss that pleasures you,

In these shadows I can live too.

In the backdrop of the sky, maybe;

Clouds to some but stars to me.

These stars that you gaze at fondly,

Are the ones from our fantasies;
Yet, through the vastness of these skies-

How my eyes still find your eyes.

Fires that burn the streets of your mind,

Filling your walls with dancing shadows,

I wonder if we could dance so too,

Look upon those lanes anew.

In a world with shattered hearts of dust,

A soul so pure with kindness;

Oh, how your light shines, see?

Blinding to some but heaven to me.

And let me shout these words that end,

Declare upon these crumbling sheets;

What with his ink he writes above,

These things I feel for you, my love.
