A journal of Eyes

A Journal of Eyes

My eyes
Are green today
Like emeralds
Or the sea
I have decided to say
All I am feeling
Of me, love, life today
I have hope
Overriding everything else
With a feeling
Of excitement 
Seeping through
There is fear though
Of the worst moments
That I have dreamt to come
That they may be true
But my eyes
They aren't gray or blue
Or anywhere in between
But green
Hopeful and serene

My eyes have changed
From the green's of grass
To twilights sky
And saphires gleam
So filled with love
And happiness I know
Soon I must
Let it all go,
To a land far away
But for this moment right now
I hold them inside
Glorious times
Have been mine to hold
He showed me love,
Made me have courage, to be bold
The love I know
Is about to over flow
And my eyes
Show all
That I need them to know

What does it matter
What color they are
But I promised
To say what they are
In what way
So here is goes, gray
I have opals
Little sparks of fire and ice
In the clouds of sleet
To accompany me
Through the dark times
They say I should get over
The sadness that I feel
But I am still the only one
Who know's that this is real
I want to rage
To cry and scream and ask
Why am I here in the cold
With naught but air to hold
My eyes are gray,
Changing with the moments
Of my weary dreamers soul.

I wait for the dawn
And just what it may bring
You may be with me
If I ask
Ever so nicely
I have hoped all
Through the darkest night
Now the fear is breaking through
I am scared 
I am in love with you
They tell me its perfect
Though you don't seem
To hold the same feelings
Everyone in the family does
So here I sit, and wait 
And wait
And wait
Cause tomorrow may come
But I don't know
I it all can wait
