In the stormy color of your eyes, I drown

The turbulent waves pushing me under

Drowning in their torrent depths

I lift my head and draw my last breath 

I watch as each lost moment in those eyes

Voice every memory your lips couldn't

 

The days when the glistening blue of your eyes

Would mimic clear skies and ocean floors

Reminding me of forgotten imprints left in the sand

And chasing waves with hands bound

 

The blended green of your eyes

Glinting with mischief and secrets left unsaid

Bringing me back to freshly cut grass

And laying underneath shaded canopies

 

The hidden hazel flecks 

Spattered wildly and haphazardly  

Each fleck like strokes of a paintbrush on a crowded canvas

And golden sunsets laying with you

 

Your eyes close, 

And the pain of their absence hits harder

 As you leave to venture 

My only wish is that the stormy waves of your eyes

Could push me underneath once more

And make me relieve

All those forgotten memories.
