Restless Eyes
In the depths of a candlelight , in the hours of a lover's night
When eyes felt heavy and worries quivered out of sight
I remembered a caress, when sins were deemed right
When the shimmer of your eyes with warmth they used to ignite
The feeling each touch of yours aroused
that immortal rapture which leaked from a kiss of thine
drenching me with ecstasy until my desires tasted divine
When every second lingered with a thought of you,
You danced the hours of my stress on breeze that blew
The sun in my clasp closer than a rose to an early morning dew
a feeling that first flickered with flames then a fire it grew
could heavens be as blissful? I wondered but never knew
the only one you remain
that can soothe away anguishes dwelling in the evocative vein ,
of which a mind
With burning insides and a tear it hides
can't help but turn Away as though blind
does darkness stay when thine sun surmounts in pride ?
Even if my malady was a fever if classified
I shall count each seethe of tear as I cry
For nostalgia burns and soon bandages will dry
Until above me watches none but your eye
Ease me with a remedy, softer than a melody
“ oh, love ! Lies where the sorrow of thy ?”
Is it the fever or is it the chime in your lullaby ?
That holds the consolation of the other dark world
From the lids of a restless eye, of an anxious lover , oh my!
One that seeks relief in the cliffs of a wink
but from slumber it hides, for deep it won't sink
