Looking back in time Through verses set in nursery rhyme At oil painted eyes Of muses left behind I swear I know not why Those eyes have always left me dry She stands with arms stretched out Towards the mountains & the clouds Oil painted eyes Blind yet hypnotized I swear I know not why Those eyes have always left me dry (How near, how far, how lost they are) I've rendered every line Every contour of a muse's eye Painted in my eyes mind On canvases of time I swear I know not why Those eyes have always left me dry
