The Affair

 Her eyes are the dark pools of forever

they are paradise and beauty and make you sink

and lose yourself in their promise

you are  helpless, you want to be

you could pull yourself from the depth of their wealth

and wonder if you would find the gold buried at the end of the promise,

you the eternal adventurer  were born to seek, born to find eternity in everything

 they give you life and are incomparable to the anxious eyes that meet you trustingly, longingly when you return

eyes that know without knowing, eyes that cry without crying, eyes that know the time is coming to be hopeless, eyes that find her answers in  the innocence of her seed,

 eyes that have died waiting for you to revive them

you despise those eyes, dry and weary, 

the hand that rubs the forehead in despair, 

you break and break the feeble soul enamored with your words, 

deadly words, poisonous words  yet they find some antidote in the poison, sighing in relief because it was them all along.

weary eyes grow wearier knowing she is unworthy 

due to something unknown, something vague keeps searching,  trying and waiting to come back alive,

but you know those eyes will never be the same with the new eyes, unconquered and defiant, you are the warrior.

she who built her castles in the sky, and  the castles in the sky, knows the past is now a lie, all the memories are poisonous, your seeds are thrown away to wind, with birds of prey circle to eat the unguarded 

the trail of the broken follows you in your fathomless desire, and her voice is the siren call in which you must heed, the old journey has ended for you.

A new one has started for her, the weary, the protection, the praying, the loneliness, and the strength, 

her seeds will weather the storm and may bring her shelter, they, the path  paved in desire become the immortal path

they may be broken, and lost , seeking answers in the eyes of every man, but will find home is in the heart, the questions lie in the eye, and not the answers.
