Brown eyes, lacking gold,
or green, but a spark and a
shimmer that makes the boys
stop and stare.
What beautiful eyes,
they whisper, they draw
your secrets from you,
make your lips sing.
What a clarity, what a spark
that the plainest
of browns makes these eyes
gleam in the dark.
They see these eyes, but have
they ever looked, searched
through the snowy-white and
the henna, and see...
How many tears those eyes have
shed, as she wept herself to sleep
in a bed, that awoke and made her eyes
burn, red. What beautiful eyes.
See all the heartbreak
and all of the screams,
that she, a little
brown eyed girl has seen.
What beautiful eyes, they
all say, but they don't know
how day after day, those eyes
that soul, see life's darkness.
But, oh, what beautiful eyes.

Wow. I have brown eyes as well and my ex fiance used to tell me He could get lost in my eyes. That's what inspired this contest, getting lost in someone's eyes.
How many tears those eyes have
shed, as she wept herself to sleep
in a bed, that awoke and made her eyes
burn, red. What beautiful eyes.
See all the heartbreak
and all of the screams,

This is how I felt when I started this contest. Like if you looked into my eyes you'd see all the pain I try to keep hidden. I just hope people really can't see your soul through your eyes because then I'd be afraid of what my friends see. Thank you sooo much for entering my contest.
