The Depths of What Is...

by A.J. Jones

As I stare in these pools called eyes; 
my mind begins to take a dive 
into the deep definitions that is and are…
Once I plunge beneath the surface 
I feel and see love bubbling all around me.
The deeper and deeper I sink into this abyss 
I feel no chill or coldness in the soul of these calm waters; 
yet I am numbed by the warmth at heart 
of this deep sea of emotion from that love below.
In the spirit of serenity and the mood of peace 
I do see the sun shine on these tranquil and majestic reefs that are…
As the rays did and do define all life 
in and out everything that is in that being that I call…
As I look up from the bottom of the trenches of your eyes 
I do see the storms, rains, and hurricanes that oceans into angry seas.
I stay submerged many phathoms below so that I 
can become comfortable and be docile to this life below.
As I emerge from submersion as I began to reach for the surface.
I feel myself getting colder 
leaving the serene, peaceful, and docile abyss that is in itself…
These definitions that are…
These majestic reefs that are…
This deep emotional abyss that is…
These depths that is and are…
You…
You are the depths of what is…
Love…
