whoa, just scrolling through some word docs where i was working on some old pieces and stumbled on this little gem. short and sweet, quite literally.

"Green Eyes"

there's nothing blossoming those eyes of green.
there's no hidden spring from which they glean.
for to say so would be to label them a derivative
and dull the premiere beauty their unique tinting gives.

somewhere between evergreen and kryptonian.
a latin word for 'lovely' i read at the smithsonian.
this is my chance to write something anacreontic
of the spirit in your eyes, stronger than gin and tonic.

too much a fool, i believe their gaze will find me aware.
two lush pools of green and i swim in their fanfare.
the words employed, i fear, could never be found so clever
as when inspired with your gaze as the winning endeavor.
