When I gaze into your eyes <br />Time begins to slip away <br />I'm unsure then if it's been seconds <br />Minutes, or even an hour <br />Passed by unconsciously <br />As that contemplative river begins to flow again <br />Taking me somewhere strangely familiar <br />Yet always different, and I realize <br />I never want to return <br />As I'm well hidden, deep inside your eyes; <br />My slow boat into dense, sun-streamed jungles, <br />Or free flight over cool, clouded mountains, <br />The color and light ever changing, <br />Secret storm of earth to be imbibed <br />One enigmatic shade at a time- <br />Rites of the delicious mystery <br />Of finding only you inside.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-i-gaze-into-your-eyes/
