A lighthouse

Member since 2002 · Posted 18 Nov 2002 · 3 comments

A lighthouse shines behind your eyes Darkness leads my way. Brightness shades the ebony pool Of clarity and strength. I look to you to guide me through, The miry rocky sea. At time I sink below the break Of water wind and sky. But still I look to you, your eyes To guide me home again. You radiate security. Your heart is calling me. I'm drawn to you, I'm drawn to life. My life is linked to you. Shine anew for me. Let not the flame be shut to me. Close not your shuttered eyes. I look to you so look to me, Your eyes do light my life.

Let not mine eyes gaze upon this putried assemblage.
My life is a suasage link and you, you are the pancake.
I'm drawn to your butter and imitation maple syrup.
Guide me home again
Into the security of a carbohydrate blanket.
An elevated glucose level shines behind your eyes.
Oh House of Lite Pancakes
Close not the kitchen.
I am drawn to you.
I am drawn to the fork and knife.
