Behind those eyes
Dwelled another universe
Unlike the one outside
Wherein the chaos
Was but endearing
Without the cacophony
To embrace with
And where the dreams
Came in tiptoeing freely
Playing a rhapsody
From time to time
With desires and inhibitions
Pirouetting away in a trance
Dissolving ultimately into
A bliss of eternity
Behind those eyes
Dwelled another universe
Similar to the one outside
Taking in the chaos
Into its stride
Embracing the cacophony
That came along with
And where the dreams
Glinted far away wistfully
Playing a rhapsody
From time to time
With desires and inhibitions
Pirouetting away in a trance
Dissolving ultimately into
A fiery fight for survival
