Simply stated I can’t define
The color of your eyes
Some might say brown
Some might say blue
Still others say a different hue

So I’ll not fall into the trap
Of saying gray or hazel
But concentrate on saying how
The color looks on you
How they light as you endow
At me when wet with dew

I’ve been asked in my time
Are you a ‘leg man’ brother?
Assuming bosom, butt or leg
Captures my vision thither
But I seek windows of soul
They’re what bring me hither

So sparkle for me, eyes so bright
Sparkle darkly in the night
Glow for me as mine will too
Know your eyes made me love you


There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.
~Janet Mar

You are becoming one of our premier romantics here, Wilfred!

What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life.

You've certainly added a twinkle to mine...

Eyes are indeed the window to the soul. Mine are hazel, or brown, or green mixed with brown or something. *wink*

Anyway, your poem made them misty.  
Enjoyed your writing.

Heres looking at you...this is so very beautiful

Ignore those who would clip your wings...fly ever upward...even if it means scorched wings
