Brown Eyes

You hated your eye color,
Called it a dull and dirty brown,
Wished for the deep blue of an ocean,
Where admirers hearts would drown,
And it pained me when I realized,
You’d never see it like i do,
The way your eyes hint at a story,
That i want to read right through,
They hold specks of stolen sunlight,
That you’d miss with just one glance,
And a depth of raw emotion,
That can freeze you in a trance,
They’re a fix of melted chocolate,
When I’m craving something sweet,
But hold a gaze that’s so unwavering,
That I find it hard to meet,
I fall right down the rabbit hole,
When I look into your eyes,
The brown of earth’s unfettered beauty,
That I yearn to memorize,
When I was tired of not belonging,
They made me feel like I’d been found,
And I hope you never say again,
That your eyes are simply brown.
