brown eyes

behind closed eyes the story's told
before her eyes the world unfolds
the great adventures the world holds
was seen by her brown eyes

at first the world has inspired her
and thus encouraged her to dream
each day the world has grown wider
and as all that she see or seem

she loves every moment that came
and she reveled in all that she felt
she laughed and she danced in a rain
and laughed as the snow, the sun melt

she faced each challenge boldly
and gets up every time she falls
found a man to make her happy
and built her handsome sturdy walls

they loved each other immensely
and gave their hearts to each other
and the seraphs grew in envy
so they schemes on how to sunder

so once upon a cold winter
in the cold stillness of the night
the seraphs thought it be better
if they took his breath and his might

as she opened her eyes that spring
she saw all the truth and the lies
as she slowly put on her ring
she shook the whole world with her cries

by summer she has given up
and saw the world as so ugly
by fall she has tied herself up
and threw her body to the sea

behind closed eyes, the stories told
before her eyes the sea unfolds
the bitter intents the world holds
was seen by the same brown eyes
