Just crashing beneath you,
Just ashes
Maybe flames,
We're mayhem together
And those dark blue eyes call my name.
He's taking my hand,
Your eyes unreadable
Your lips silent.
He's begging for a dance,
He's taking my hand,
Are you even there-
My eyes begging you to cut in.
The seas may separate us,
And the mountains a wall
People holding us back,
But won't faith allow it all?

His eyes are the only thing she throws herself into-
and she doesn't say no.
Or can't?

Let me speak
Don't suffocate my breath
May my opinion sway
Someone's political death?

Your eyes grab mine
Not willing to let go
A moment it's only
But for eternity I'll know
I'd love you forever
If you'd only say so.
But the clock is ticking
The pressure is mounting
Tis gravity on our side?
Tonight'll decide.
Push past the expectations,
Look over their eyes,
Grab me in your arms,
Just say you're mine.

Nodded to the man with the veterans cap
Eyes filled with more than I'll ever know
Vietnam
Korea
Iraq and Iran
Germany
Japan, and Italy.
Traces of blood
Stained on the smallest of forms.
Largest of hearts,
Torn by tyranny, terror and trauma.
Biggest of men,
Shorn by the bullets.
Comrades mere inches away,
Dead in a moment of a minute.
Tears of mothers watering their graves-
Widows in black
Tracing their name.
The old man's bearing,
Wearing a thousand legends
Protection and freedom laced his form.
And I?
I nodded to a hero in a veteran's cap.

Color of my skin,
Defines me in a way
I cannot control,
And have no say.
Colors of my heart,
So many different shades
Never defines me,
In the world of today.
