Determined Fish

Dear almond shaped eyes,

look into mine and don’t look away.

Your eyelids, as a graceful blanket,

humbly temper your beauty for a moment.

Lead me where you wish,

through waters, as a determined fish.

Cast your net and I’ll swim right in,

with a wide mouth bass, bashful grin.

Sure, there’s a lot of fish in the sea,

but won’t you, please, just catch me!

When the night swallows me whole,

remember my wandering soul.

When the bell strikes and takes its toll,

remember your net and let it fling and roll!
