A matching pair of hazel eyes
Bore holes right through mine
Staring beyond my smiling guise
As the looking-glass images align
Smothering masks take the reins
Emotions entwined without rest
Blood rushing endlessly in my veins
As a fire alights within my chest
The silver moon bright and strong
Comforts me with cosmic splendor
As effervescent flowers sway along
It was then, at last, I could remember
Although I share his eyes and lore
I’m not that scared little boy anymore
