Eye Love, You

I plunge, headfirst,

to swim your eyes,

     and search their depths

for the soul of your mysteries ...

     should I lose myself among the eddies there,

or the shadowy abundance of your passions

     pull me to the warm dark of your abyss,

there is no other earthly place ...

     I'd rather drown.
