tiny oceans

Your eyes like tiny oceans keep
your soul beneath pools of colour deep
They gaze at me, my heart exposed
and see the depth to which this love goes

The jewels of your smile
are the stars of my night
they gently hint at feelings hid
that I desire to swim amid

And I'm by fascination lured
into a paradox observed
that complex thoughts and fears are held
where hope and wonder also dwell
