MY EYES




My eyes travel through 
The different hues 
Of blue
Looking for you,
In the blue grey of the sky,
They peep inside the clouds floating high,
In the blues 
Of the oceans too,
Deep under
The aqua blue water,
Following the jellyfish,
Moving after the starfish,
Seeing through the sea anemones,
Knocking over the black mossy stones,
Finding you not there,
They roam around the different layers
Of hills and air,
Go to the top 
Of the hill tops 
And mountain peaks
For months and weeks,
Tear streaked
You they seek,
My lashes making way through every tree, every leaf,
Every bay and every creek, 
The eyes refusing to rest
Till they met
You in these surroundings, somewhere,
They believe you are hidden in there,
Within your heart with a treasure of love and care,
Somewhere very near, 
Just around here,
Not lost forever...!
