Timeless Voyage

You have to be
on a timeless voyage
in the ocean of my eyes
to find all the answers
which your questions
can’t derive

so take a chance
and sail through
there’s nothing
to be scared about
the storm inside
is temporary
and the waves
ephemeral
just follow the line of my kohl
when you lose your direction

let my shiny brown iris
be your guiding light
when the darkness inside
prompts you to lose hope
and don’t give up
if you tend to sink
for I will be the anchor
holding on to you
and pull you out of the depths
when you would flutter
gasping for some air

and then my love
when you had tasted
all the brine of my eyes
and seen all the wrecks
of the past
which lie deep inside
that’s when
you would have all the answers
which my lips were trying to hide.
