Coffee Eyes

Inspired on someone's eyes. They're brown, so full of life, vivid, ambicious and strangely wide open. The eyes of a good freak. :)

Searching for feelings, not for answers 

Everything is clearer than the heavy air we breathe

If you want to go beyond love and hate -

Well, slowly we'll decay but we should give a try

Even if it keep us awake night after night

But you’ve got these coffee eyes, so violently unquiet

You seem possessed by the need 

of needing nothing but yourself to reach the highs of life 

You scream words that might mean nothing 

But you are heard - pressure is heard, and pleasure is heard

I don’t care if all this ain't real, I'm still here

Trying my best to be seen

Savouring new horizons and sensations

And even though nothing is real we’ll still be here

Darkness is knocking at your door, 

And you’re free like a blackbird 

always travelling from sea to sea

As you’ve got these coffee eyes, so violently unquiet

You seem possessed by the need of needing

nothing but to be and feel the most of life 

And even if you scream in a foreigner language

There’s always someone clever enough to hear you

Pressure is heard, pleasure is heard and you're heard

When you've got such coffee eyes, so beautifully unkind

Just like a dazzling light, always awake to a world that never sleeps

Trying to feel it, to feel it, to feel it 

(At least you know) pressure is heard 

And pleasure is heard

(And if not, try harder)

The poem had me with the word coffee. I drink 10 cups a day. I like woman with those coffee eyes. Sort of a mystery to look into. Like the eyes of a Gypsy. Who can see into your soul.

Thank you for the excellent poem.
