I sailed the sea of your eyes
Scaling every wave on your face
To lose myself in the maelstrom on your laughter
Let the ripples where mocking gulls dive
Gurgle and giggle
Back to serenity.

Love the idea of a sea tossed with a maelstrom of laughter! Beautiful!
Great words - and so full of imagery.
Wonderful! The image is perfect, too. I really enjoyed this one, and especially loved "I sailed the sea of your eyes, scaling every wave on your face".
this is a wonderfully creative piece, which I enjoyed very much.

i have seen this metaphor before (sea/ocean of the eyes), but your take is very fresh and reveals something new.
"Back to serenity' will be in the shallow waters where the little ripples come to rest and you can play.
I like the excitement, then peace, brought out in this.

So beautiful! Lovely writing.
I'm so enjoying your 'word of the day' series! Immense quantity of thought and muse!
love and serenity found in one's eyes...photo is awesome...
I'm not terribly up on poetry, so I've never seen this metaphor before - it seemed incredibly delicate and fresh. Really put me in the moment. Nice!
The parched-looking cracks together with your ocean images rivet one's attention.
This was wonderful! I felt the toss of the ocean reflected in your gaze.
Let it, indeed!
