Title: Beneath Those Brown Eyes

This is what lies

Beneath those brown eyes,

When the light

Touches their surface:

Pools of sweet Honey

Mines of warm Amber

Fountains of godly Nectar

Fields of enriched Earth

Coins of pure Gold

Swatches of shined Leather

Swirls of glossy Caramel

Orbs of polished Mahogany

Truffles of tempered Chocolate

Stones of smooth Obsidian.

The sights of one’s soul

Seen only through

A Brown iris-window,

Shuttered by clear fibrous tunic.

Let the light shine

In those brown eyes;

See what beauty

Lies beneath them.
