it's the way you look towards the sky

eyes that burn like fires

irises the color of polished gold

that keep me alive

living, breathing for the shades

it's the way you paint the human mind

with aesthetics that rival Salvador Dali

bursts of orange and timber

with just a piece of the sea

stuck in the corner of your right eye

i lived for the day

that our hair turned gray

and our bodies withered away

but your eyes remain vibrant

with searing speckles and streaks

like liquid gold and honey

i wouldn't die

until your eyes faded away

and all the color was burnt
