Lost In Your Eyes by ayodecent(f): 10:16am On May 26, 2006
Many days and nights, I walked
untill I reached the end of the world.

I stopped at the sea;
played with the eels
whales and sharks
planted roses 'neath waters blue
and for a moment I swam with dolphins.

Leaving the sea,
I went into the jungle,
wandered through the woods
and there I saw a tree
bearing fruits as big as the London Eye

A tree as tall as the sky;
branches adorned by birds
with beauteous beaks and colorful feathers,
bright and beautiful
under the shimmering heat of summer

Leaving the forest,
crossing a river,
I found a cave in which I rested
my tired body.

I lay down contemplating in amazement
the wondrous beauty of life
until it hit my mind
I was lost

Where was I?
Titillation and excitement
had carried me away.

I ran back through the forest
crossed the river
till I returned to the sea
but could not find the way home

I cried and shouted
from morning till night for help
only the deep blue sea could hear
my thunderous calls

But a soft, sweet tap
brought me back to life,
and I realized
I was lost in your eyes.
