Caribbean Eyes

Don’t close your eyes

Let the Caribbean waves flow

The bluest of ships are but shadows from your glow

A sea of stars is just a reflection of your eyes smiling

I am dazzled in their brilliance

Awestruck in the clearness of their purity

I stand in their shallows

Peering into the endless depths

I am desperate to plunge in over my head

Terrified of needing to come out again for air

I long to drown in that sapphire sea

I will cast myself in

Leaving behind all cares

Overwhelmed by the tides

I am no longer dead

[Coyote Poetry]

A powerful and beautiful poem. The sea can bring peace. Death too. Description was outstanding in the short poem. I like the ending.
