The Return of Calm

I love those eyes which pierce my soul
They tear down walls; if truth be told

Set fires ablaze beneath my feet
Invading foggy channels, deep

Like smoldering lava, gazes burn 
Consume my heart and spirit in turn

Soon, a puddle of chocolate in his open palm 
Arrested breath hangs the return of calm
