Lost in your eyes



"Oh, Eros, the conqueror in every fight,
Eros, who squanders all men’s wealth,
who sleeps at night on girls’ soft cheeks,
and roams across the ocean seas
and through the shepherd’s hut—
no immortal god escapes from you,
nor any man, who lives but for a day.
And the one whom you possess goes mad...."
                                 Antigone, by Sophocles



I get lost in your eyes
I fall into an endless vertigo
You know i want you
You know my heart sings when you are near
Slowly at first
Just a whisper
Like the first drops of autumn rain
Then louder 
A  love song screaming in silence

I get lost in your eyes
I dont know how deep
It goes, this longing
I beg for a piece of my reason back
I beg for an exclamation point
Behind your question mark
I am transparent 
Like april melting snow 
You break all my sanity
With one look

I want you to write your name on my skin
i want you to explore my lips with insane kisses
I want you to do to me things untold
I want to fracture time , to erase space
But am just a helpless leaf in the wind
When you sweep me off my feet
When you claim my life
When you have me at your mercy breathless
I jump into your abyss in Faith, praying...

     May God have mercy
      on my Heart...

  2. Yes, dear beez, the trust of the heart is what makes love being born. It makes it stronger, it makes it unique. I believe in that trust. I believe that when that trust exists, everything is possible for those who love trully, with all their strength. Thank you for the wonderful comment :) x
