Beyond My Eyes

As night-time closed around my mind,
I watched a lady rise above,
Within her face beauty defined.

Lady of night who stole my heart,
Led me to see beyond my eyes,
As drifting clouds made their depart.

The ancient songs echoed all night,
As eyes gazed upon lady’s face,
A sultry smile, in lunar light.

All questions asked in ritual dance,
Out in the night where all is seen,
So live again in her romance.
