Favorite Quote:
Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of Solitaire. It is a grand passion.<br /> – Ralph Waldo Emerson


Sometimes her eyes rage sorrow

Sometimes her eyes bathe love

Sometimes her eyes are a fist

Sheathed in a boxers glove


Sometimes I’m scared to look

Afraid of the stories they’ll tell

Afraid that in those eyes

Is a return ticket to hell


Sometimes her eyes grow flowers

Bursting with sweet perfume

Sometimes her eyes are fire 

And i'm yearning to be consumed 


Sometimes I’m scared to look

Afraid that her eyes are a dream

And if I look too closely

None of this will be as it seems

Sometimes her eyes bathe sorrow

Sometimes her eyes rage love 

Sometimes her eyes are a caress

Soft as a velvet glove


Sometimes I’m scared to look

Afraid that I might trespass

But every time I lift my eyes to hers

Those eyes, they always say yes

Your eyes always say yes


The author's comments:

This was inspired by a breakup a friend of mine went through, I asked his permission to write this piece and to submit it to you, he reluctantly agreed after my many weeks of begging, I'm hoping this proves that he was right to trust me, because I do for my friends what they'd do for me, so this is a dedication to my friend and his freedom, and the three months I spent in the torture chamber with his sorrow.
