A Poem For Your Eyes

This is one of my favorite poems that I wrote. I wrote it for a girl that I really, really like. I mean, really like. And I wrote down what I thought when I looked into her eyes. Her eyes are really blue-green-gray-ish and they're very lovely, I suppose.

The lady's eyes are colored blue, And green, and gray, to form a hue the likes of which I've never seen, Surrounded by the whites which gleam behind her lenses, in their frames, Eyes like that have been the claims of many a woman who would walk by, And flow the tears of those like I, Who, looking into beauty's pools, Feel like morons, feel like fools, For I desp'rately wish to see, What those eyes observe of me, When she looks upon my face, Does her heart begin to race? Much like mine when I see her? The lady's eyes are colored blue, And green, and gray, to form a hue upon which I could write for years, Staining papers with my tears, A volume, lady, to each eye, Don't let them dull as time goes by, A volume, then, to search your soul, When I've found something to suit my goal, I'll take a slow stroll through your mind, Still searching, searching, 'til I find, The formula for eyes like thine, And read it, learn it, using mine, To do the thing I want to do, To find another girl like you, And spend my time with her.

Wow! The way you have the lines cut at the rhyming words made me read it in a way that felt like a beating heart. I thought that was really cool.
Such a beautiful poem! That's really romantic! She's such a lucky girl to have someone write something this beautiful about her.
