Of Amber, and Green

A Poem by Zach Lape

A poem of eyes.

Your eyes so textured, layered with your personality...

Riddled with worries
spotted with fears,
stitched with conviction,
the seams torn by tears-
Laced with aggression
Embraced by perfection,
Yet,
they are only a reflection...

of your inner being, in its purest form,
your heart your soul, your mind's very storm,
portraying your thoughts, you cannot disguise,
these gems, such pristine, entrancing amber eyes...

- Zach Lape

And so of the eyes it is there you'd see
The windows to the soul
The secret sides of me

And falling into yours
This spinning flame did shine
A glaze of sadness laces with hope
And secrets within his mind
And everchanging
This secret soul does do
From light to dark
Every shade of green it's true

And in them I see
Just who you are
The guaranteed truth
Within these stars
In them I find
An undying spirit
A determined mind
In them I see
A lost heart so kind

But as you do know
As I've told you so well
That since the first day
It was your eyes and the story they'd tell

That dying to know you
This writer meeting a book
Wanted to fix you
And so our hearts we took

And this green of your eyes
It is not lust nor envy
Neither of such sins
It is the green of calm oceans
The spinning the mist
For in your sight
Yes I do see
Every move every word
Just what you mean to me

And my favorite look
It's that pensive stare we share
Locking eyes alone
Saying I love you beyond compare

So as amber and green
Oh how they once met
The most special of eyes
But never to forget

Beautiful! I love how both our poems are in a literal reflecting position; and of course the taken title from mine; I love this...we definitely need to collaborate on bigger and better things.
