Crystal eyes. 
By:James Williamson 


Pierce through me 
with your crystal eyes. 
Look deep down to
my shame and 
to all things hidden. 

Allow me only my breath, 
Inhale and exhale. 
We will test our limits, 
as perspiration on my face 
begins to glisten. 

You are my lonesome 
shadow, the dagger 
between my breast plate 
causing unforseen pain, yet
If pulled out results in my demise. 

So look deep my dear
past my darkness, fears 
and hatred.See my heart, cradle 
it so maybe it will become like you, 
vulnerable and crystallize.
