Promises

In your deep gaze
   one day I dived up
   I felt the world overturned
   on island of love woke up ...

   Your eyes dreamed reveries
   but it had a distant glow
   in special strange world lived
   just a passerby sans soul.

  Your look made me captive
  for the promise  made inactive
  innocuous offer did not succeed

  it wasn't what it looked to be
  promised sweet paradise to me
  but instead was hell and agony!
