Peaceful
My soul set afire with rage, your eyes quell this hunger.
The emotion seeps away like a wave, pulling my soul asunder.
Only peace I will ever find, is hiding deep within your eyes.
My soul will never shine, the peace within me have died.
A longing touch, an embrace, a lingering kiss
A hardened slap, a bitter tear, a closed fist
Peaceful….a wild emotion of fulfillment
Peaceful….setting the world on fire
Peaceful….a hardened will is bent
Peaceful….my heart feels stuck in a mire.
