My Lover's Eyes

A love poem about my lover's eyes.

 

Oh my love, I adore your eyes, so blue,

when they are a perfect, baby boy hue.

And when on a cloudy, overcast day,

they turn a sweet, soft lilting, dove-like gray.

 

Oh my love, how I love your eyes, oh so strong,

on a darkened night, an indigo song.

And when the sky is clear, shining, pure bright, 

I can see your eyes, now sky blue, alight.

 

Oh my love, is sweet, cerulean guise,

while concentrating, furrowed brow ‘bove eyes.

And when the room dims, and we cuddle close,

it's celadon blue-green, blue I see most.

 

Oh my love, I love that stormy cobalt,

that tints those stern eyes, frustration at fault.

And this shade that's held dear, without measure,

is Aegean's azure, cools my desert.

 

Oh my love, I adore your crystal blue,

when playing with me, and laughing at you.

And it's true, translucent aquamarine,

guides me through heavy nights, of pain unseen

 

Oh my love, how can I ever forget

Carolina blue, your favorite yet.

But of all the blues that color our world,  

my heart's afire, your sapphire, unfurled.

 

And my love, could you feel my joy, how strong,

when our little baby girl came along?

That my lazy hazel eyes, were mine, kept,

when she revealed your blues, oh how I wept.

They do say the eyes are the window to the soul - you certainly made that statement true. I love how you use more then just the one color *blue* to describe the color of your lover's eyes, and instead use multiple different variations of hues for blue. The image is so much clearer. Wonderfully done

[Relic]

A wonderful job. The many shades and moods of eyes that comprise his story and yours. The end brings a sigh.

[Emerald Seas]

So beautiful! I love how you have captured the various hues of blue to correlate with your lover's moods and feelings. Great job!

A wonderful piece! Keep up the positive imagery, and your writing will carry your soul aloft.

You sound smitten. :) But once again, let loose and don't force the rhyme. It makes the reader feel as if they are stumbling over obstacles while trying to catch the idea. That aside, sounds like you two were made for each other. Kudos.
