Innocent Eyes
What to say to innocent eyes
Tears that well are my demise
To just caress her wilting wings
How much sadness it doth bring
Lost in eyes of emerald green
Penetrating radiance gleams
Deep into my soul it seems
Tear stained cheeks reflecting me
Inner secrets though not said
One of which were always dread
Soulful secrets not be kept
Touch of light now are swept
Projector runs a movie screen
For that which were not serene
Plays the days of were untrue
That of which you wish not viewed
Turning back the clock of time
Distance past reflects a rhyme
For a day though wished were mine
Sadness rings it’s ugly chime
Now a face so worn with time
Creased in sorrow not sublime
Heart doth break in sorrow fought
Many lessons sadly taught
But naught lost the lesson learned
For each one all must discern
What is right and what is true
For everyone a right to choose
My gentle dove of purity
Innocent eyes so searchingly
Reads this man his inner soul
Now a story doth unfold
Regrets now wash over me
For the things thought not foreseen
For wishes thought to turn back time
To hold you close and make you mine
