The sunlight casts golden pools in your eyes, every ray through my window shows every fleck in your iris
An autumn breeze tenderly blows through my hair when you look at me
The next time, it is a rich sunset, with speckled green grass flashing it's vibrant colours at me when you wink
The Earth stops still when you smile and the wet mud we ran through shines from your eyes
When you whisper in my ear, the pools of honey melt your words and glide over my lips when I say 'I Love You'
Brown turns savage, a grizzly bear at night when your words sting and your eyes scream in anger
Now the colours have gone and your eyes are just brown.
They watch me walk to school.
Glide over my shoulder and brush past me.
The life has left your eyes, and now they look on, helplessly.
The brown I loved is missing, too far gone, out of my reach.
They are not my eyes any more, but I hope someone else will paint them for me.
