In your eyes I have seen the universe
Its dazzling brightness and sombre gaze
Its good and its bad
All woven in one
A tidy messy roll
Deep in your eyes I’ve seen the universe
Its threesome of black, white and grey
And soothing music and drunken growls
And caressing whispers and stinging rage
All dripping in one gush
A cocktail of love and hate
Sweet, sour and bitter
Desire and disgust
Hope and despair
Truths and lies
Laughter and sobs
I’ve seen the universe in your eyes
The which I want
And the which I don’t
In these your eyes
I see the universe
And I miss me
