to him who must not be named

i am a seafarer
in the vast ocean
of your eyes

i search for
even the tiniest isle
to claim my own

i transfix my eyes
upon some glint of land
in your gaze

yet i am washed away
by the waves of your
eluding glance

i am once again
lost, drifting in the vastness
of your faraway look

your eyes speak
nothing for me
not even the tiniest love
