Poems of an Elf

Ocean eyes

To you, they might seem boring. To me...it feels like they're drowning me.
I fell in love with them and with you. Apart from your eyes,
you yourself act like an ocean, pushing and pulling me,
drowning your sorrows and you hide secrets deeper than earth's deepest pit.

Your laugh sounds like the thundering waves of a seastorm,
your words full of salt yet as sweet as the creatures frolicking beneath it.
I wish to explore the undersea coves that make up your mind and find
the sunken treasure of the bright days.

But like your ocean eyes,
I'm drawn to you,
yet pushed away by the fear of exploring,
the fear of drowning
