Ocean

                      w
                      n

       to the bottom, I go,
      plumbing the depths
            of the ocean
   that is your soulful eyes.
       With each glance,

                      I

                      i
                      n
                      k
too deep to happily drown.
          Good heavens, 
       they are magnetic!
   it's impossible to resist 
      their seductive pull.
