Green is the Color of Your Eyes

Your eyes are
As a hint of sunset at the shoreline
mixed in
as watercolors dark and light blues
of sky
soaking in a warm tropical evening
of rhyme and placid time.

Or
A bonfire – radiant,
with blue and yellow sparkling
sapphire,
with whispers of a Celtic flute
through tall rippling salt-grass

green as fluorescence
of the sea
conducting its symphony in yellow and blue,
silently harboring a glassy tide
between horizon and dune…

Green is the color of captivating,
enticing,
excitement, and
natures lure in disguise…

Yet preferred of all,
green is,
the color
of your beautiful eyes…

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Maranatha!

I'll go for green too. There is nothing quite as sexy as a pair of green eyes giving you that look.

They will come back, come back again,
As long as the red earth rolls.
He never wasted a leaf or a tree,
Do you think he would squander souls?

I like how you took the beauty of color in nature and wrapped it into a delivered package of words...where you compare the outside world to what is even more important to you...The green eyed stare of someone loved, that has even more signifigance to you personaly..

" Shall I compare thee to a summer day?"
(Shakespeare sonnet18)
See, others have done this well also..

Very nice poem......:-)
