To all the boys I’ve loved
my downfall was your eyes
I looked into those pools of light
Brown, grey, blue, and Hazel
and saw an endless soul
What vision of greatness stretched out before me?
waves of wonder
For each individual is filled with unfounded gems!
the corals of the deep I long to see
To dive and find such treasure is my favorite past time
But the winds of the outside world have wrecked me
Left me broken back upon my shore
in the waters of men
I’ve ventured in the farthest
Great Tsunamis threw me out
corrupted by great cracks
Tremors shudder in deepest pools
and burst!
into the heart of the diver
who learns that pearls can still be found in tranquil seas
But your eyes still haunt me
the hues of adventure leak out of organized, locked away tubes
whenever my nervous fingers find the end of the rope of present projects
and I long for the salt of the deep
