Port of your blue sea eyes
Blue sea eyes;
On the deck of your blue eyes rain
Audible vibrating lights.
On the port of your blue eyes
From a tiny open window
A view
Of faraway birds swarming,
Searching for yet undiscovered islands.
On the deck of your blue eyes
Summer snow is falling.
I am a kid jumping over rocks
Deeply inhaling the sea wind
And then returns a weary bird.
On the port of your blue eyes
I dream of oceans and navigation.
If I were a seafarer
If anyone lent me a boat
I would surely ease up my boat closer
To your blue sea eyes
Every sundown.
