When sleeps eludes I often analyze
the mysteries hidden deep within your eyes
of hazel hue with leonine gold ring.
Chameleon changing colors bare mood swing;
at times showing the green of your desire,
the warm hues signaling an inner fire.
Then cool blue hints of calming, tranquil heart
let life’s uncertainties and doubts depart.
You tell a tale in every subtle shift
as eyes become kaleidoscopic gift
to send sweet shivers. Quivers of delight
bring warm fulfillment to the coldest night.
Flushed with love reflected in your gaze
I fall asleep to dream of coming days.

what a lovely tribute to someone you're fond of. It is very visual. I refer to those eyes as "autumn" eyes. Changing like the seasons. Sometimes with emotion or even with clothing.

There is just such honesty here. I love the lilting feeling and the romance. Thanks again for a wonderful entry.

I just love it. You have captured all of the wonders to be found in the eyes, the proverbial windows to the soul. I love the ebb and flow of this and the beautiful rhyme, both internal and end. A wonderful reflection here of the one you love.
Thank you so much for a wonderful entry and for sharing your heart and J's eyes with us!
