Your eyes are my night sky
Bursting with energy emanating from a darker backdrop
Always twinkling in spats and shining with rhythm
Reflections flicking back and forth from sources near and far
I am weightless when I realize the vastness that consumes me
Your eyes are my ocean
Coming in and out like waves 'neath masts of ships much like your lashes
Breaking against the shoreline that is the sandy tan of your face
Mingling blues and greens that are never quite that simple
I am drowning when they hold my gaze like mermaids after sailors
Your eyes are my earth
Forest and browns that hold mystery and adventure
Wandering souls exploring with ease
Fresh air that soothes and warms
I am alive when I take it all in
No night sky will ever feel like a frightening open space
No ocean will ever feel like a terrifying abyss
No earth will ever feel like I have lost my way
I am not afraid because I have you
Your eyes are my home
Bursting with energy emanating from a darker backdrop
Always twinkling in spats and shining with rhythm
Reflections flicking back and forth from sources near and far
I am weightless when I realize the vastness that consumes me
Your eyes are my ocean
Coming in and out like waves 'neath masts of ships much like your lashes
Breaking against the shoreline that is the sandy tan of your face
Mingling blues and greens that are never quite that simple
I am drowning when they hold my gaze like mermaids after sailors
Your eyes are my earth
Forest and browns that hold mystery and adventure
Wandering souls exploring with ease
Fresh air that soothes and warms
I am alive when I take it all in
No night sky will ever feel like a frightening open space
No ocean will ever feel like a terrifying abyss
No earth will ever feel like I have lost my way
I am not afraid because I have you
Your eyes are my home
This will be the first of many.
