Eyes of Fire

Eyes of Fire  (for Devon)

Lost in the wind again
her eyes fire burning the life
out of mine - falling again
I believe she really loves me
but she is as distant as the leaves
flying everywhere 
but never landing in my heart

Eyes of fire
body of desire
breasts, mountains 
that I long to climb
but those eyes, blue, longing skies
I believe she really loves me
but she is like the moon
a longing of the mind

I want to believe
but she is gone
I want to believe
but she is afraid to love.
