An Aquarium To My Hope

Your eyes are deep oceans
Of eternal devotion
Of intense emotion
Of pure passion
Of mystery and danger
Of insight and wonder
That inundated my heart
And baptised my soul
In everlasting love

Your tears are crushing waves
Of a fragile heart
Of a single truth
Of an unbroken trust
Of a powerful thrust
That leads me to you like a wishing well
Here my thirst for a confession to tell
My love for you to rekindle

Your eyes are crystal balls
To all my future fortune
To a life of happiness
A reflection of tenderness
A mirror to my success
To a life of richness in all respects

They are a turbulent waterfalls
Of love overflowing
Of romance ever flowing
In them I drown
Lost without shape
An aquarium to my hope
