The eyes have it

When I saw you

I could see deceit in your eyes

I could hear regret in the words you said

The incense of us burning in this carnage

could melt away the promises our lips still held

Your touch could set free in me

the desires I decided to do away with

I could die right there in your arms

if only you could say my name out loud, this once.

But all I saw was love

Flowing from your eyes

As a song in your voice

In your touch that sparked butterflies

The aroma that hypnotized

And the kiss that spelled my name

Letter by letter

A hug that synced

Beats

Breaths

Us.
