your face of snow
your face of snow
your eyes of ice
will blur and melt
with sweet surprise
your eyes of ice
will blur and melt
with sweet surprise
your cheeks of dawn
of smooth white stone
will blush and throb
with flames unknown
of smooth white stone
will blush and throb
with flames unknown
your lips of pearl
encasing dreams
will blink and burst
with bright new beams
your face of snow
your eyes of ice
will bloom and burn
a rainbow’s rise

A story where nothing ever happened
The greeting in your eyes, radiant.
The answer in your eyes, immediate.
The longing in your eyes, innocent.
The promise in your eyes, infinite.
