Stories

Ah, to know the stories
Nestled in the silence of your eyes
How I would prize
every color, every secret, every tone
Mapped along the dusky blue
Of those seeing skies
I would guard them safe
Rest them warm within my gentle hands
I would hold them precious
Tuck them in the pockets of my heart.

See?
Even now not knowing
I reserve most tender wishes
That you might find happy ever-afters
In your todays & all tomorrows
Absent sorrows

And if some stories of your life
would pain me
With them I would sit and listen
Sinking into each emotion
As they wash and flow
Maybe we could wear the aches together
For I well know
How karma owes me sorrows too
For the many I have given you

So gaze into my eyes
Silent now
Carry me through
The many hidden stories of your lives
As I sink into the dusky skies
Of your grey-blue eyes
