The eyes, confined

by EoB   Mar 8, 2008


How my eyes now long to witness,
how the breeze can stir the dust,
in this room I never opened,
to your world of painted rust.

How the faintest glimpse of sunlight,
makes their hopes ascend anew,
given nothing but the presence,
of a shadow in my view.

How content they would surrender,
where the daylight wars with night,
on a vast enflamed horizon,
to the rich and trembling light.

How they gladly would betray me,
one whom wrongly has confined,
and enslaved them in the service,
of a vain and sightless mind.

    ^How content they would surrender,

    on a vast enflamed horizon,
    to the rich and fiery light.^
