Solace

In the misty shadows of your dark eyes
there is a calming refuge
unlike any other place,
your risen eyelashes spread above me
like two black roofs,
putting everything below them
in an engulfing shadow,
protecting me from this scorching life.
Looking up, seeing two giant white moons,
shining their soothing light on me,
a light that soars down on me,
like a white flurry of angels,
showering down on me,
soaking the scene with a dim hope
like two fading rusted lanterns.

In the misty shadows of your dark eyes
there is a calming refuge
unlike any other place,
your risen eyelashes spread above me
like two black roofs,
putting everything below them in darkness,
making you my shelter of night.

Illuminating teardrops fall from those angels,
tears from those crying moons.
They are sizzling stars falling
from your face of night sky,
dripping down
the atmosphere of your cheeks,
engulfing me in the glow of your sadness.

Crucify me to your dreams,
because I know that is as close
as I will get to my dreams.
