These Eyes Seek You

These eyes seek you between here and there In that place where lonely hearts beat one to one. They seek you beyond that thin fine line where the burnt orange of fire meets the silver-edge of the ocean Where its heat impregnates the dormant tide with a spell-binding mirage. These eyes seek you between two mocking worlds where strong monsoons blow away each falling star. They seek you through infinite distance where the smell of salt-spray fills night's misty air and where the scent of musky roses blooms throughout the year. They seek you across silhouetted sails against a glowing moon. These eyes,these noisettes eyes move like last shadows of sea-gulls Soaring high in darkest of places Fearless,on the verge of nothingness. They seek,they search,they roam They roam across the sky-line which separates our paths Our deserts and waters Our lands and Our hands But not our dreams. Our dreams will not be taken Of dreams We are belongers And it is there where I live It is there where I would not exist It is there where these eyes will often be solaced by the comfort of your arms.

Such a beautifully enchanting poem. This is a poem to get lost in and never want to find your way out of again. The desire and the longing is felt Charmaine and you have written it so wonderfully. This line was mesmerizing, "They seek you across silhouetted sails against a glowing moon." Absolutely gorgeous
