I Lost My Eyes
My back laid on this old coconut tree,
My feet rested upon this shapeless rock,
My hands set on this mid-sized notebook,
Only my eyes-
Lost.
The sun shore right through the blue
Dressed sky, kissing her lush caramel skin.
The breeze smoothly caressed her dark,
Sleek tresses. I am jealous-
The waves took turns jumping with her,
As they laughed at everyone at the beach.
I wish I was the one she took the many
Glimpses at, with a smile I can’t yet explain.
Now I must save my heart,
Which I was losing,
Together with-
My eyes.
