Green Eyes

©1976, Olan L. Smith

The sparkle of your sundry-hued eyes

Is like moist gleaming spheres,

Brightening lights causes their ebony to dwindle,

Your flecked iris' are speckled

With amber flakes of turquoise,

Burgeon—

I dim the lights

And witness

Ebon pupils nudging raw-sienna

And cerulean blues to brink of whiteness

Amazing me,

For in your eyes—

I see my reflection.
