Eyes

These eyes, these eyes, these miraculous eyes;

These diamond irises that light my path to a wonderland.

This wonderland, this hidden world,

This beauty I’ve been hunting for that I’ve finally found in these eyes.

A beauty that could never be found in my waking hours,

Only in my dreams.

These diamond pools surrounding black portals

That stand as my door back to reality,

Back to cold, harsh darkness.

With every blink, every flutter of an eyelash,

I’m reminded of where I really stand in this world;

Not in this wonderland that I’ve desired to live in,

But the bitter-sweet world I have to call home.

One day I’ll learn to accept this home,

But for now, I shall hide in these eyes.
