YOUR EYES

Photo of a sunset

A lake? Never!.... A lake could never
compete with your profound eyes.
Your eyes possess shadows and flames.
They are two intense embers,
burning brightly on a lake.

The sea? Never!.... The sea has an end,
that is filled with land, at the bottom.
And in your eyes, I found an abyss
which depth is impossible to measure.

The sky? Perhaps being the sky
it could perhaps attempt to compete,
as it looks down at you, filled with envy.
Staring into your eyes.. There is a chance,
I could be staring at the sky and I would probably err
because the sky isn't vast enough to look through them.
