Your honey brown eyes
Embrace my timid soul
Enveloping it in an
Unforeseeable glow

Drawing me into
It’s pillar of strength
It enhances the light
Dancing in my blue eyes

Coyly courting my hand,
The brown pair,
Glinting with mirth,
Gladly entwine with mine

Caressing the flecks
Twinkling in my eyes,
Twin pillars do meet
And thus become one

I liked the line about "caressing the flecks".  But the last line gave me, unexpectedly and humorously, the impression of seeing someone's eyes meld into one from looking at them too close.  Sorry to bring that up, but if it happened with me, it may happen with others, and I don't think that's what you were intending.

Now that you mention it, I see what you see. Thanks Stephen for the enlightenment.
I'll try to salvage my message later, hopefully without the staring factor.

Hi:

I feel what you are trying to say.  and here comes the but: to be the words seem a tittle to simple.
