Unbound Heart

The winter is colder than on mars
Yet as I gaze upon distant stars
When I think of her looking through bars
Only fire in her eyes heals my heart’s scars

Her eyes are like stars
Like supernova pulsars
She is forced to look through the bars
Beyond sea of fire of stars night’s coldness is surprising to souls of ours

The ice covers heart like vines
To protect from the cold star declines
But through the cold that scars her and my heart like spines
The eyes still burn bright and surreal life in them shines

I dare not think what would happen if loneliness of being behind bars
Reaches to the heart the soul and eyes like stars
There was no crime committed only self inflicted and bad memoirs
Incorrectly identified as insanity to condemn innocent person to those boudoirs

Like a phoenix from ashes she will rise
Even if tears now cover her abyss deep eyes
Like a rose her heart in the cold will not die and her soul will arise
And I will be there to give hand until there will be new sunrise
