Her Eyes

by Brandon Evans   Jun 16, 2004


Beneath the sultry confines
of my own mental prison
I turn thine gaze within me
searching for my reason.

Fear and panic take over
there is no end in sight.
Consumed by veils of darkness
longing for hope's light.

My breath has become staggered
my heart is growing weak.
There is no colored rainbow
no treasure left to seek.

The days are getting longer
death is but a mirage.
I force myself to prolong
though life's chaotic barrage.

The shadows of time consume me
alone I sit and wait
I drift and dream of freedom
on the foot of heaven's gate.

Curtain falls before my view
I catch a glimpse of hazel stars.
Filled with angelic beauty
they heal my callous scars.

Impervious walls have crumbled
seas of despair have parted
Sorrow has been drained from me
the dawn has finally started

No longer shun and frozen
in a world of silhouettes and lies.
The warmth that I have yearned for
I found within her eyes.
