THE INKWELL OF YOUR EYES – Since we connect together, me and you. Since we’re in love, since we’re alone against the world, it’s true, although convention’s on their side. But, I still want to you confess all that I write and can express. I drew it from the inkwell of your eyes, blind to the chains that wrapped you around, wanting so much to look at thee, forgetting I was also bound. We dreamed of Venice and of being free. But, I still want to you confess all that I write and can express. It was your smile that told it all to me. You’ve walked in my dreams for oh so long, appearing like a wonder, early, like the break of dawn. Despite this if you fade from memory. Then, I still want to you confess all that I write and might express, tell of regrets that always linger on.
