Heavenly Eyes

I am tired of all these things that I have to regret
So I will fallow you and hope that I forget
But the color of your eyes is bringing me closer
There’s heaven behind your eyes and I can see it clear

And in your arms tonight I remain sleepless
Staring into the dark but never feeling fear
I could hold you next to my heart and let you hear it beat
Take the longest breath just to slow it down

I am afraid that in your eyes, I could never turn away
I could never disguise myself in any other way
I am so convinced that fate is finally real
I could hold your heart and wash away your every fear

The day becomes so bright and my heart never feels pain
Your lips taste so right it’s a strain to pull away

And in the swirl of your eyes, the beautiful mixture
Blue to yellow to green to black
They got me hypnotized
I am never looking back
I am never looking back
I am never looking back
Ever again

While I like this it confuses me a bit

is "fallow" a typo for follow or used in the agricultural (and opposite) sense of leaving land alone to become more fertile? An interesting metaphor if so. Absence makes the heart grow fonder etc. In the end I was not sure if you were never looking back to the time before being hypnotized or away from being hypnotized. See my confusion? cheers, Jess

I am impressed

i am happy someone found the metaphor, i was not sure if anyone would get it, well done. the poem would bring confusion to anyone but myself, it seems alot of my writing has internal meaning that no one but me and the person it is for would get, leaving alot of poeple in the dark. this poem i wrote recently and it was for forgeting the old and realizing the new. the metaphor was to leave the heart i loved behind, i dont want to look back, but sometimes its just too damn hard. "i am never looking back" i am not looking back on the past, the things i want to forget all that i want to regret, as i look into the new. thanks for reading, i appreciate it. Washington Fear
