Castaño

chocolate kisses melt 

eyelids dance the tango 

together then apart 

then together again 

shivers tremble my spine 

the depths of the earth lurk 

within those brilliant orbs 

fertile, lively, and blossoming 

watered weekly with tears 

each drop a diamond unwasted 

blue wildflowers and green moss 

so beautiful to behold 

both grow from the rich soil of your soul 

your eyes, unfocused, fixate on me 

pupils dilate, earthquakes in your irises 

I’m engulfed
