Eyes

Hidden while you sleep
plotting for tomorrow,
locked behind their lids
hiding pain and sorrow.
One moment they're shining bright
little jewels in the navy sky,
then burning with a merciless fire
hatred of love gone dry.
Small Pandora's Box
pure evil in the night,
 innocence and joy
 for the first time taking flight.
 They hide who I am
 and who I yearn to be,
these jewels are my secrets
the depth you cannot see.
