Image result for gorgeous eyes in water

there is one river, boundless that I long to swim at length a-flowing dark and magical with prurience and strength and if those churning waters are the stead of my demise ‘tis nowhere else I'd rather drown ... than deep there … in your eyes. ~ 2nd Place ~ in the "When A Fourth Line Helps It To Rhyme" Poetry Contest, Silent One, Sponsor.

My favorite BARDen, you have given new meaning to the word 'drowned' --- poetic meaning, positive and purposeful. Kudos on your placement in the contest too! Best always, Gershon
