A/n: The poem maggot burrowed into my brain in the middle of the night again. And the only way to get it out is keyboard surgery.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed My Place, the feedback was really positive. Hope you like this one too.

Eyes of an Angel
A thousand points of burning light,
Adorn the darkness, cobalt bright,
Eternal pools that draw me in,
Yet another willing victim.
Dried blood from unforgotten fights,
Caffeine from too many sleepless nights,
Raven from all that she has borne,
Light, from the hope that drives her on.
Too much awareness in the depths,
Conscious the hounds are on her scent,
A beast once caged now running free,
Wild, untamed, ready to flee.
Ancient eyes in her beautiful face,
Scarred by the everlasting chase,
Wisdom there beyond her years,
Controlling the triumph of her fears.
And yet sometimes, so soft and warm,
Innocent, when she lets her guard fall,
Those of the woman she could have been,
If barcodes were nothing but a dream.
However hard this life might be,
My angel's eyes inspire me.

It took me ages to work out the last couple of lines, do they work for you?
Tell me what you thought.
