Shanghaied

In the ocean of your eyes, I became lost, Lost in the tidal waves that crashed underneath the water, Silence felt the space, For once I could breathe, For once I could let go, My heart was steady as I suddenly lost control, Shipwrecked, I fell forward laying down, as it all seemed but a dream, Leagues and leagues away from the land I knew so comfortably, I lay Against the ocean floor of your eyes, Was I still the same person you saw so adamantly, Would you come to know me as the pilar that stood strong in the storm of your eyes, Everything became quiet, The silent calm gusts of wind caressed the lens of your eye, As I merely watched from the window of your lashes, Watching myself seep deeper into your eyes, Those waters, So clear once the sun lit the wick that shone to the bottom of the ocean floor, Those waters so clear, As every splash brought serenity in the ocean of your eyes
