Brown eyes like the earth Grounded yet glowing with an inner fire Warm to gaze upon, Hot and flashing when passion arises Blue eyes bright as the sky Alive awake and electric Deep pools dark like the deepest water Cold as ice when pain alights Green eyes like the leaves of the trees soaring, Open and burning Like an emerald’s fire Drawing you in and showing you life Hazel eyes a mix of all Common yet astounding The secrets they keep Changing each moment to suit the mood Eyes are the window to the soul Eyes are the mirror of the emotions You cannot hide your eyes Burning, begging, needing Seeing, arousing, pleading A window you cannot close A mirror only momentarily covered Open your eyes and see my life.
