Black

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.
