Baby Eyes

I said your eyes were beautiful – You said my eyes were harsh.
Both of us so right,
So wrong.
I saw your eyes, two crystal seas – Deceptively serene.
I dove right in and lost myself,
But hit the bottom fast.
For their was no substance to their beauty,
No depth to their tranquility.
You saw my eyes, two muddied pools – Beguiling and intense.
You dove right in and lost yourself,
Pulled under by the current.
I terrified you.
Eyes too deep
For one so shallow to comprehend.

So goodbye,
My Baby Eyes.
