An ode to Brown

Your eyes 

Soft yet intense in your stare 

Those eyes that I see when I close my own 

My soul gets touched with every glance

With ever accidental stare

Within your gaze I see

Brown with whispers of green 

Not blue but brown 

The most common color 

But not the most common on you 

I’ve seen many brown eyes 

But yours seek attention 

yours seek 

How mine yearn 

I see you in every color 

Not just brown but,

Green, Hazel, and Gold 

Each color dancing with grace 

With every stolen glance 

Each color singing 

With every dilation 

Brown but still seizing my attention 

Like blue or green would 

Unlike my own 

Blue and needy

Needy for that glow 

My own eyes lack

Needy for that chaos

And fire present in your iris 

My own eyes unworthy 

To stare into yours 

My own eyes ignorable

Like the spring breeze 

I will cherish your gaze

Every second it meets mine

And will long for it

Every second its broken 

See me in every, Past 

Present and 

Future

See me in every timeline,

Every universe, and 

Every moment

For my eyes have always been seen 

But never worshiped 

My eyes sad like the moon

Deep and dark

But yours like the sun 

Bright and golden

I wish to never forget

Those little joys 

I see when I look into 

Your golden suns 

They say 

Eyes never get old

So yours will never dim 

Like stars do 

Yours will never fade 

Like memories do

I will always remember 

That intense stare 

But tender touch 

You will never see my eyes

Fill with woe

As long as they meet yours

That stare gave me purpose

To seek  

That stare gave me reason 

To love
