Brown eyes I can feel …
when her eyes meet mine
my secret smiles begin to burn
and I can’t remember the last time
I felt someone so much … without touching.
I smile until I have to break for sanity
from these brown eyes, so real.

How many years since I’ve fallen in love…
our eyes meet and the moment’s electricity
turns to smiles… smiles we both bear
amid the echo we both see

It seems dangerous to be so happy for free
her company pleases me, regardless of our conversation
looking at her is pleasure
touching her is
and thinking of her is

Strong and driven
she’s flying from her past like I.
I look at her and see someone to match me

What will these days bring
on the edge of my life?

Will I ever find myself
so deeply in another again?

I press away, for these days,
running down my life like some rat
trying to ferret out my happiness
and the secrets of my purpose

Today I’m going to look deep inside
and fly into my secret rooms.
