Ocean Eyes
Ocean eyes that tell a story
about the rough seas
though you would never know
He reveals a smile
of innocent perfection
so you cannot see, nor hear
about how his ship rocked
in the current by the pire
Ropes, hooks and fishing line
are wrapped and attached to the memories
left back in time
Waves hug the sides of your ship
looking back you can see the lines of string
that have no slack, you start to race, hoping
they will hold on, and not snap
for if they do your memories come back
Sweet darling with your Ocean Eyes realing in thoughts
that cause you to cry, tell me what you hide
under that smile of cries
tell me what causes the water in your eyes
