Crystal Fountain

I daze into your crystal vision
that special sparkle, the gleaming ride
encompassed by their calling stare
beyond the image to magic windows
                     where
I dare to break into their pools
with each splashing, caress the find
by diving deep-down 
into your mind

Yet, further do I seek to row
as I pleasingly paddle into thy soul
reaching, touching and taking in air
longingly leading me to an island
                 where
Suddenly pulled into your rivers heart-beat
daring to love you as the rapids speak
tossing and turning me round and round
nearing the end, as your tears fall-down

I'm finally sharing the emotional flow
from your crystal fountain eyes that glow
                  here
