your eyes

 

 

Your eyes are like mirrors of the deep

Fathom upon fathom of emotions do peep

Your eyes are like mirrors of the sky

They flash like lightning, before they cry…

 

Your lashes, like birds, upwards do soar

No walls bar them, nor is there a door

Upwards they curl, like pigeons in a flight

When wanting to express surprise or delight

 

When clouds in your eyes, hide daylight

Darkness descends, like the blanketed night

But when the stars shine, and when the smile skims

Like nectar, the wine, from your eye brims.

 

Your eyes own my life, my mind, and my heart

They hold me imprisoned – so we may never part.
