~Eyes of Scrutiny~

 

And every time your eyes seize me--
I want to hide
I want to crumble with the soil
and ebb with my waves of belief...

to be concealed by snow
as its sharp, cold crystals infiltrate my skin...
stopping the blood from running
freezing the brain to end thinking...
thoughts of your eyes looking
inch by inch, your eyes measuring
into the soul's abyss, your eyes plunging
depths within, your eyes testing...

Yet I hold on
I cling on to my right--
to shine with the sun
as its rays crown the sky,
softening every wintry heart
melting the purple coolness of the night...
I will be there
I will be there--
ready to bear my soul
to your eyes once more...

this time I won't hide.
