Deep

I look at you
And you, at me
But our eyes
They do not meet

When I find them
Your green eyes,
They turn away
Saddened, denied

Your eyes seek
The darkness
But it is lost
What should be

I try to be,
I see the depth
I see the love
I ache

I ache for
Your profound thought
Your deep emotions
Your salty tears

But the land is barren
The grass was greener
The water was deeper
The sun arose

The skin of the drum
Tears beneath my force
There is blood, but
Not the colour of love
