I Could Swim in Her Eyes

I Could Swim in Her Eyes

I could swim in her eyes forever

deep as oceans warm as night

a look that pulls me under

without a struggle without a fight

Her laughter wraps around me

soft as silk against my skin

I drink the sweetness gladly

knowing love is where I begin

Her lips taste of summer

ripe with promise close and near

every whisper she surrenders

is the only sound I hear

The curve of her body beckons

like a secret only I may know

I follow every motion

where her tenderness will go

Her touch is fire and mercy

a storm that soothes and burns

in her arms I lose my balance

yet every moment returns

I could live inside her presence

a captive who will not part

for her eyes hold my freedom

and her soul keeps my heart
