Poem Series – In your Eyes.
1.
In your Eyes #1.
in your eyes, a maelstrom of emotion,
in your eyes, whirlpools of desire,
beckoning, inviting me to plunge, into the celestial waters,
of your eyes.

2.
In your Eyes #2
whittling down reason, drawing out a rhyme,
searching for the truth,
hurtling through time,
in your eyes, i find my answer, my refuge from the incessant rain,
in your eyes, i sail upon the ocean, devoid of pain.

3.
In your Eyes #3.
As another day recedes,
enveloped under the shawl of night,
allow me to drown,
in your eyes.
Moments fleeting,
fickle hands of time unseeing,
allow me to seek solace,
in your eyes.
The trodden path littered with each shard,
regrets this heart wishes to discard,
so allow me to seek refuge,
in your eyes.
I have walked through twisting boulevards of life,
seeking simple joy, away from desolation, strife,
so allow me to find peace,
in your eyes

4.
In your Eyes #4.
I find,
the gentleness left behind,
away from superficial smiles,
away from fatigue of the walked mile.
In your eyes,
I feel,
at home at long last,
your love caressing away the restlessness of the past,
stepping out of the shadows to embrace pure contentment,
though a bit player,
in your life’s theatrical cast.
In your eyes,
I touch,
the flame of promise radiating through your loving light,
that is why,
I no longer dread,
the vacuum of encroaching night.

5.
In your Eyes #5.
in your eyes,
marmalade swirls,
candyfloss twirls,
draw me ever deeper,
as another day unfurls …

6.
In your Eyes #6.
I have plumbed the depths of truth,
in your eyes,
I have found rejuvenated youth,
in your eyes,
I have seen my future, and my now,
in your eyes,
that so effortlessly soothe.

7.
In your Eyes #7.
clasping onto hope,
fragile strands of sanity dispelling unseen phantoms,
lost amongst the suffocating crowd,
cloaked in your invisible shroud,
fortitude restraining you from crying out loud,
still your fire rages, crackling embers testament to your dignity,
your insolent defiance, ever steely, seeing through the lies,
your quiet strength resting deep,
in your eyes.

8.
In your Eyes #8.
in your eyes, I see,
desolation flee,
in your eyes, I know,
is a humanity that shall always flourish, ever grow,
in your eyes, I see, a fiery need, passion ablaze, mirth set free,
in your eyes, is where I wish to be.

9.
In your Eyes #9
in your eyes, I see,
waters of turquoise,
pearls in the deep,
in your eyes, I drown,
swept by the currents,
banishing my sleep,
in your eyes, I feel,
a yearning for peace,
beyond the tears we weep.

10.
In your Eyes #10.
consumed by the crowd, deafening silence assailing my ears too loud,
slipping away from the raucous row, the din of moments, the savagery of the now:
finding you,
my open sky so blue,
seeking peace, elusive,
rented out on a married lease,
give me a kiss, honest and true, deep,
in your eyes, finding the peace, that renders me a bore,
exhausted, fatigued,
needing only you, in your arms a restful sleep.

11.
In your Eyes #11.
your light blazed bright,
a comet slicing through the moonless night,
enveloped by your sight, dimming the pangs of my darkening plight,
I found my peace, in the blue open skies,
of your eyes.

12.
In your Eyes #12.
darkness enfolds night,
suffocating, cold, empty,
I stare, unseeing,
alone, desolate,
till I see,
the light in your eyes.

13.
In your Eyes #13.
in your eyes,
spices swirl, dark chocolates whirl,
awake beside you,
your breath against mine,
waiting, as you sleep,
for your eyelashes to unfurl.

14.
In your Eyes #14.
in your eyes,
seeing the pain i touch and feel,
in your eyes,
the ache of having to scrape and kneel,
in your eyes,
beholding the fire of your wandering soul,
in your eyes, I see,
the promise of being whole.

15.
In your Eyes #15.
May your embracing warmth,
be forever by your side,
may you walk the soft beaches of the fates, at the coming in of the tide.
May life shower you with love, laughter, truth, peace, health,
your spirit be a wellspring of ceaseless wealth.
May your dreams be boundless soaring through hopeful skies,
the open skies residing,
swirling, bubbling,
in your eyes.

16.
In your Eyes #16.
Walking along these bending alleys of life,
the promise of meeting a fellow-traveller was deemed far too remote,
and so,
I shut down my heart,
severing all loves’ ties,
but then again,
that was before,
before I gazed into the ocean of your fiery, gentle, irresistibly enticing eyes.

17.
In youe Eyes #17.
Your eyes sketch skies,
a silken canvas.
Your touch,
the smell of your hair,
seduces me,
in an avalanche of curls.
Our kisses like tributaries fanning out, eroding life’s cold hard stone.
In your arms,
in the shadows of your form,
I am whole,
I am never alone.

18.
In her Eyes #18.
Drowning in her eyes,
eyes chastising me for looking away,
till my gaze got caught, in her eyes’ captivating sway.
“I fear I would drown in your eyes”, I said in a whisper,
“drown”, she murmured.

19.
In your Eyes #19.
my starved eyes, aching for a glimpse of your smile, ready to beguile, their thirst quenched, seeking simple joys, not million dollar toys, finally, coaxed the ocean of your eyes, to reveal the kernel of truth beneath the veneer of lies, so love me now, today, where fractured dreams are made whole by the sea spray, plunging deeper into the ocean shimmering in your eyes, hoping we may breathe, like the terror of time, high on up into blue skies, where love roams unshackled, in that ocean so deep,
in your beautiful eyes.

20.
In your Eyes #20.
I need no pity,
no earnest sympathies,
hearing the birds singing in the trees,
enough to raise these spirits to the skies,
sans pain, sans beholding eyes.
