Your Eyes

Unfathomable
A dynasty of dandelions
Gently floating above the endless labyrinth of obscurity
An orchestra of emerald daggers
Piercing my fingers ruthlessly
But you were born to love and not hate

Lacklustre
Two somber oysters
As the silver armoire embraced a wreath of orchids and hydrangeas
An empty chaos of reflections
Your elfin figure shivering in the gloaming
But you were born to pray on the trampoline of sunlight

Opaque
Mischievous haze of simplicity
A drunken Bacchus broke into a curious directionless run
Peals of laughter
Echoing through the amethysts and rhododendrons
And the tranquil storm humbly bows before you
For you were born to spin the golden yarn of quintessence
