In your eyes, the sapphire abyss calls me gently toward the depths

In your eyes, the sapphire abyss calls me gently toward the depths,
I plunge into the living water that sings ancient incantations of stars,
in your iris with topaz flames I mirror myself and float,
beautiful as a forgotten fairy, beloved by the spirits of the full moon!
Your gaze with golden copper lashes opens unseen gates,
a world of crystal and liquid gold surrounds me like a ritual,
I see myself transfigured as if I were an altar of light,
as if I were looking at myself with the eyes of an ancient sorceress!
For your eyes, mysterious as lakes with treasures hidden at the water's bottom,
tempt me with silent charms, call me into labyrinths of dreams,
and time stretches like a golden thread through the seasons,
when I look at myself with the future woven from constellation threads!
Like a child's enchanted are your eyes amazed by secret runes,
when I whisper to them a story from books with forgotten magical seals,
they become gentle and deep like the seas from fairy tales with emerald dragons,
and place in my palm drops of dew with healing powers!
In your eyes I like to spend the night in temples of amethyst and jade,
to wrap myself with your eyelid of silk woven from starlight,
in the midst of perfumed night to tell you what dream the sibyls whispered to me,
you to silence my mouth with whispers that carry my spirit toward the heavens!
In your pupil with galaxies I weave the thread of destiny in the runes of time,
I am a priestess in the temple of your gaze, I am a flame that dances ritually,
and in your eyes with centuries of magic, with spells woven in glances,
I lose myself in sacred mystery, I find myself like a star in your sky!
