Coffee Eyes
For the Things I can't Say to You Directly
I've never liked coffee, I don't like the way it tastes unless it's drenched in sugar
To this day I still don't understand how people's whole day depends on when they get that first cup of joe
And then I saw your eyes…
You had asked if your eyes in the setting sunlight looked more attractive
I did my best not to stare, but now I know why people love coffee
Your eyes remind me of dark chocolate, unless you look close you can't see the soft hues of browns
And your eyes in the light
was like coffee hitting the bottom of a cream colored cup, the beautiful brown liquid gold waking and thawing my heart
Suddenly I’m teleported to the first time I enjoyed a hot cup of coffee;
I was in New Orleans in the French Quarter; it was humid and hot; I had accidentally drank from my dad’s cup as I munched on the beignets I had looked forward to my entire trip; it was the one time I didn’t flinch at the taste of the dirty bean juice
I briefly looked at you again, the honey amber sap sucking me and I wanted nothing more than to drown in your comfort
They match beautifully with your warm olive complexion
My cheeks are warming from the sip of alcohol I had and nothing else… right?
wow
Brown eyes are far from boring
