Eyes invite like a blue lagoon
tempting my own to take a dive,
immersed in the softest iris
floating back and forth on the moon.
Eyes to drown in and find lost tears
dark lashes sweep to let them go,
lost in the salty waterfall
photographs stored of sodden years.

I like the eyes inviting, tempting. Beautiful image in lines 3 and 4, floating to the moon. And the last stanza... a waterfall of unreleased tears... invites rereading and appreciative reflection.
Nice! Thank you for your entry.

Stellar write! I LOVE the imagery in this piece. I could actually see myself in the eyes of that person. AMAZING job!! Good luck!
