Ojos Cobardes

The moment can’t be stopped when eyes must meet
To choose to smile or lower lids afraid
A look once seen can strengthen or retreat
Son ojos cobardes when eyes’ escape is made.

The feigned affection given without care
Will teach a fool the pain of empty fact
That one is wicked when they give false stare.
Son ojos cobardes when eyes are not exact.

To grant a gaze communicates your thoughts
Reveals emotions felt from deep within.
Its truth and love; or bitter pain that rots.
Son ojos cobardes when eyes look down in sin.

The frightened truth is powerful tonight
For now I know your eyes contain no light.

Drained

I turn my heart to you, your soul I’ve sought With burning hope to share with you each day. The love I give, it falls into the naught, For you it pours but scared you run away. The giv’n emotion drains from me to you, Heart’s gates have opened, broken by your smile, Request your […]
