Star-Fixed Eyes

So sure of all that what might be
A world of possibility
A haven where young hearts might flee
With star-fixed eyes they went to see

Their days a happy melody
Delighting in their company
They spent such moments holding tight
That wishes hid their destiny

Their passion masked reality
As daylight lingered into night 
Another kiss another flight
Another satin memory

But then they paused to see the light
And questioned source of their delight
Was this the tale that they did write
Those lovers lost to mystery

So sure of all they had in sight
A world of everything is bright
A haven where all this is right
With star-fixed eyes a kiss goodnight
