Stars In Your Eyes

Stars In Your Eyes

By Connie James

Go not into the other side of midnight
Must not close your eyes
Raging against the darkness of the dying light
In the eyes of my mind
Go not beyond midnight hour if there are
stars in your eyes.
Struggling against the darkness of all times...
Wise men know not if, night, is right
In the depths of their darkest minds...
Forked words exist not on their lips
Or in the lightness of their minds
Waving their last goodbyes brave men.
Frailty means not
If their deeds were mindful at all times
Go not into the other side of midnight
If there are stars in your eyes,
As they danced holding you close
On those golden fields with stars in their eyes.
Raging against the darkness of the dying light
Dispersing from their eyes...
Watching the rising of the sun feral man
Sang and danced into the light so bright
Grieving they learned not of the lateness
Of the stars dispersing from their eyes
Hanging on by a thread, men gravely
Blinded euphorically.
Blasing embers before their eyes
Dancing euphorically, fire in their blood.  
Go not beyond the midnight hour
If there are stars in your eyes
Raging against the darkness of their night
When the light in the shade of their minds
Imminently dying from their eyes
Go not into the other side of midnight
If there are stars in your eyes...
