In Your Eyes I'Ve Seen My Past
In your eyes I've seen my past arise
Though the shaft decays in the time below
The afterglow blooms in your girlish eyes
Your life was my life when the moon was low
Curiosity lived in us and our stars
Darkness and fresh moon were our worshiped duet
They bartered sleep with nightingale and hearths
We danced and played among stars and crickets
When you swim in mud, hunt the sun's abode
Watch hawks return, and trade meat for a tale
It's life's requisite, and soon shall implode
A new light shall spring from the ember's tail
-The fire of youth, and shall erode your mind
In the dying glow womanhood is confined
