Drowning in her eyes: poem by Aakash Agrahari

 Drowning in her eyes 

 

I am drowning in her eyes

And I don't even mind

I am lost in their depths

And I don't want to be found

Her eyes are like the brown ocean

And I am like a ship

Tossed about by the waves

Of her emotions

I am sinking fast

And I can't fight it

I am pulled under

By the power of her gaze

And as I am drowning

I am also being born

Into a new life

A life where her eyes

Are my only guide

I see the beauty in the depths of her soul.

I see the passion and the fire,

And I can't help but to drown in her eyes.

I am drowning in her eyes 

It's like looking into the deep end 

I can see my reflection 

And I am sinking 

I am losing my breath 

I am gasping for air 

But I am content 

In this moment 

Because I am with her 

And that is all that matters

I see the world in her eyes,

And I can't help but to drown in them.

I see the beauty and the mystery,

And I can't help but to drown in her eyes.
