An Ode to Your Eyes




Twin vases:
water-white and silent,
cupping Glories in porcelain hollows.



Invariable Dawn,
devoted to the arc of sky,
exhales Herself as light,
and,

          like first breath,


your petal-lashes bloom,
proclaiming the virgin blush



of green eyes.
















Author notes

The Glories mentioned are a reference to Morning Glories: a flower which blooms daily, circadianly renewing itself and reclaiming its innocence.

    enduringly delicate

    How beautious..."water white and silent" and green eyes that see only innocence...see the entire world, and in it renewed, just like the morning.
