Laughing Eyes

Laughing Eyes

I can't keep my cool disguise
hiding what her beauty buys.
I can't hold my breath and say
all of this will fade away.

Life she turns slow on the wheel,
life she is to which we kneel.
Safety is what must suffice,
falling on the same love twice.

I can't know the one and all
who has held my time in thrall.
I can't hold my breath and say
give me just another day.

Life she is what we must steal
lonely on her turning wheel.
Warm her mouth with soft surprise,
kiss her open laughing eyes.
