The Eyes and Stars of You

The land reaches out into the distance,
To the point where ground and sky become one
It is farther than an eye can see

My love stretches further

The mountains reach up, pointing fingers, they seem,
They are pushing the floor of heaven
It is farther than the eye can see

My love reaches further

The oceans, so wide, so deep,
Deep, they must be, for the secrets they bury
It is deeper than than a man can go

My love is deeper

Billions upon billions, sharing love, sharing all,
Each stands, alone or together, and each one falls,
Sometimes, with blessings and luck, into another's eyes

I am the most blessed, the luckiest, I feel

I fall into four pairs of eyes every single day of my life

It is more than mere passion,
More than mere desire
It is more than mere want and need,
More than a willingness to bleed
It is an agony of ecstacy,
That enables me to be me

My love, for all of you,
Stretches further, goes so very much deeper,
Causes me to fall so very far into eyes that never end

In a universe that can be a void, a blackness,
Each of you lights my way,
Each holds never ending onto my body, my soul, my heart

In an otherwise empty, false forever,
You are my stars
