Chocolate Eyes
I see you.
Your eyes: dark chocolate,
guarded when observing all but me.
My amber depths cause guarded chocolate to open and reveal.
Your gaze;
Steady. Thoughtful.
Missing nothing, always watching.
Like the wise owls of the forest; always there.
A simple beauty-
Your stride, your smile, your presence.
Addictive.
I could watch you forever.
Dancing. Simple steps, time to watch you.
Your chocolate eyes, looking straight through me.
Missing nothing, always watching.
Softening when they find mine.
Chocolate and amber.
Joining, softening.
Gazing as one,
lost in pools of indescribable emotion.
Hands meet as music starts, gently directing.
Rocking me to the sea of music.
One hand spins me, the other waits for my return.
Hands meet again, reluctant to part even as the music ends.
And all the while,
Chocolate meets amber.
Never swaying, never parting.
Gazing as one.
Gazes, chocolate and amber both,
see something that minds have missed.
Far into the depths of the soul.
Love - sweet, sweet love - is discovered.
Love, true as the sight of the boy before me,
sweet as the scent of meadow flowers,
pure as the blood in our veins.
My heart wakes from its slumber, more alive than ever before.
And always,
always, I will remember those soulful chocolate eyes.
