Starlight Eyes Poem by Lubna Hazeem

Your spirit is made of stone
And it's so hard to see you clearly
But there's love within your bones
Oh mother, i love you so dearly

The many things i thought i knew
Are the many things that made me confused
But you're the one thing of which im sure
My shattered heart will sing as loud as before

And that is why, i'll chase after your starlight eyes
And I'll never give up or say my goodbyes
And that is why, i'ill scream at your doubtful signs
This is my place and everything's going to be fine
Oh, everything's going to be fine

When you open your window, that is your eyes
When you open your heart up, i die a little inside
And so maybe death is not a bad thing after all
If it makes you fall into the arms of who you'd call

The mystery is here, it's never felt so right
It's the one thing i've said and meant my whole life
Sleeping at dawn and waking up at twilight
You wake me up now, your eyes shining like starlight

Mothers are pure, their hearts do glow
And hatred is the wind, on this day i blow
Your spirit is made of unbreakable stone
But your heart is just as fragile as my own
