in eyes of jade
I see not a jewel
for jewels tarnish
and lose their
luster over time
fading like dwarf stars
in the sky

in eyes of jade
I see not a field
for fields of grass
wither and grow brown
ravaged by fire and
by Nature's wrath
to become barren

in eyes of jade
I see not riches
for riches are spent
far too soon
and the things that
they buy with themselves
offer fleeting comfort

in eyes of jade
I see a heart
the heart of a woman
with hair of golden flax
a woman that has known love
that has run from love
and now flies back to love

a love that she sees
when eyes of jade
meet eyes of leather brown
creating between them
a hazeled passion

Truly lovely, Sven, you are terrificly inspired, here!

I must add!  I was arguing the whole way, though enjoying every word, hazel eyes ARE NOT GREEN!  You gave me my deserved comeuppance with your last stanza, so perfectly the unity of your eyes and hers, SUPURB!!!!!

Ah Virginia...my hazel eyes ARE green...some days....then other days, they share brown...then tan....some days a wonderful mix of green, brown and gold....

so perhaps not in your dictionary, but certainly in my hazeled eyes...

this is a treasure!

that has run from love
