The Little Sparkle In Her Eye

The flickering light of fireflies 
in the dark
are no match
for the sparkle 
in her eyes

They are pools of water
of which I never
want to come out of
so cool and comforting

Two constellations in the sea
we call life
always calling and 
leading me home

Beacons of light 
in the darkest of times
leading me away from 
the deadly rocks of disgust
keeping me in calmer happier seas

Finding I can not
tear myself away from them
always dreaming of them
with a smile on my face
as I sleep

Thank You Very Much

Thank you very much Cat. It is also nice to meet you too. The praise you have given is very appreciated. Especially since I have some trouble coming up with titles for some of my poetry or I don't think the title gives it any justice. I would be very happy if you could also give me some commentary on some of my other poems too.
