As I gaze into the black,
It is as if I have lost sight,
I wonder if the night defines you,
Or do your eyes define the night.
I touch your oceans of hair,
And time seems to stop,
I plunge into their depths and then,
I drown in every drop.
I see the world as you do now,
Bright colours and happy shades,
Until I look at you standing there,
And then everything except you fades.
Perhaps an illusion, the only thing I know,
Is that for my drowning eyes, you are the shore,
I could keep watching you now,
And continue for an eternity more.
