Shine

Your eyes!

Stars burst,
thrusting light, it hurts,
so bright, escaping Soul,
simmering.

It shines,

flying into the black,
the depths of night,
that place where
the bat-winged horrors
alight.

Clawed feet,
piercing shoulders,
lift me high into
the coldness,

but then

your eyes…

those eyes…

gave me the light
to push back those
evil, winged old ones.
