Andrew's Icy Blues

I remember that

they weren’t quite blue

-- rather glazed ice. 

Your irises were

impenetrable marble.

Your pupils were

a complimentary stone --

Small enough to keep

everyone out.

Until the night I kissed 

your full lips

and a rare smile broke

across your face.

Your capillaries 

drew jagged lines;

your iris shield shattered,

and the warm feelings 

melted the pieces.

Your true, liquid blue

told me everything.

I saw myself

in your reflective eyes.

I’ll never forget

the night they dilated

and let me in

to see past the glass.

Thought about a lover from long ago.

Unfortunately (and thankfully), he put his guard right back up. However at one point, I did break it ;) lol.

The last stanza presented a very personal moment ...thoughtfully.
