Hunger In Her Eyes

Hunger in her eyes

The moon in her full bloom
In the darkness of my skies
Leaving me full of wonder
The infinity before my eyes
My universe!
Comprehend cannot, the mysteriousness
Reason cannot my mind 
The moon in her fullness playing havoc with my mind
My senses so attuned
To the sounds shadows of the night
Like a she-devil prowling the streets
With hunger in her eyes
Looking for the one, the only one
She'll never compromise
Coming upon that station with fear in her heart
Whilst the whole world's sleeping
Spying for her love coming upon in
The only compartment sitting, so alone
Head in hands hanging low, as if his world's falling apart
Quietly she moves touching him once
Her hands shading his eyes, feeling her hands
There was fever exuding from her eyes
In her blood embers burning,
Fevers in the air.
Gazing into her eyes taking her hands in his
He could see there were tears in her's...
Realising not that love resided in her heart
Roots embedded deeply for all times
& a hunger within the sighs
Mortified was she
That the years in between she lost her mind
I've hollered to the winds I've shouted in the rain
& I've shouted to the mountains highs
To bring me peace, not pain!!
In the darkness of our nights the whispers between us
& at the dawning of the sun silence, echoing through my mind
In the silence of the night, I've cried out my love.
I cried to the winds the mountains highs,
In the plains the savanna's wild
With whispering hands, our woe's exclamations the sighs
Right through the night phrases uttered between us
But as the midnight bell tolls help cannot...
Help can, not but recall that "night our love"
In the midnight station with the moon at full light
Playing tricks on my mind
& like a banshee prowling the midnight streets
With hunger in her eyes...
