His Eyes

His eyes are stars;
An intimate eternity
Of sea-soaked space.
Endless waves crashing
Into the sweet skin
Beneath his jaw.
His eyes are bottomless; 
Bounds of blue
Bleeding onto my cheeks.
His eyes are light;
I am sun-starved shadow.

A very beautiful way to describe someone's features. It goes far beyond the physical attributes of it all and expresses emotion while having a smooth groove. I enjoyed this one.
