Her eyes are like the ocean

Vast and Endless,

Like the crashing blue waves 

of a breathtaking sea.


She radiates,

 like the warmth of a bright sun,

painting the skies dull canvas

 with her grace.


Her voice calls to me

the way a sirens song sings

 to the hearts of sailors

beckoning them to sink their ships.


Her laugh,

 so full of life and beauty

pulls me in like a great tide.

 

Her icy gaze sinks me 

in a trench of love

and as I drown,

Her smile keeps me warm.


Then sunny skies set,

and lifeless nights rise 

leaving me in darkness.

 

My light is gone 

I continue on 

in this cold and lonely

 in-between.


Without her here,

 life is like a ship without its sails

condemned to live 

but never move forward

rotting away like a sunken heart.


Then suddenly she appears again

a shining star in a starless sky

so close and yet always out of reach

an aurora of brilliance.


A beacon of hope for all who see her 

lighting the path ahead,

leading me to her once more.


I chart a course for her 

for as long as she lights the night sky

I will always try to reach her, 

Forever lost at sea

A soul forever lost in love.

This piece is a representation of the love I feel in my heart towards someone special to me, Though I never had the courage to say these words to them face to face, I found the courage to write it.
