Three Irises

Brown

Polished brownstones socket-set;
First thing noticed by new friends met.
Immersive hazel pools there lies
Where frequently those would have eyes

Two circular shimmering copper flints,
Glints of umber with sienna hints,
Inviting oaken tones and auburn tints.
I’ve seen no beauty before or since.

Blue

Sparkling oceanic shards
Shatter the hearts of men.
Shades of sweet cerulean
Shine like serene heaven.

Thine eyes so blue
They mimic clear skies.
Fine eyes so true
They give our souls rise.

Green

If your smile didn't win me over,
It would have been your eyes.
They're emerald gems,
A field of clovers;
You're a goddess in disguise.

I want to live in your dual atolls,
Take in the seafoam surrounds.
Wander in the green,
Dive into spring shoals,
Where only the waves make sounds.
