Your eyes, an ocean
Setting me adrift at sea
Just one miscalculation
and
Suddenly there’s
No star to guide me
Your eyes, an ocean
Subtle ocean homily
Expounding on a sailor lost
and
Anxiously not
Where he’s meant to be
Your eyes, an ocean
Given a sextant to perceive
Directly and indirectly
and
This distance made wider
Between you and me
