Ode to Your Eyes

	Ode to Your Eyes

Ocean blue grasps a hold of me,

my breath caught

enticing me

inviting me

to take a closer look.


The deep black void of your pupils,

glancing, peeping, even hiding,

concealing the thoughts that linger within you.


Simmering in the sunlight,

like waves brushing against the shore.

In the dark, they turn solid, like a quiet night

shapeshifting to reveal feelings that you try to hide.

But in the end

your eyes never lie.
