Autumn Irises

You say you hate your eye color

But I cannot look away

You say it's merely a simple curse

But I see it differently

For the colors cradled in your eyes

Are more than just a phase

They’re more than just a simple brown

They’re more than everyday

They are the leaves left on my doorstep

On a chilly Autumn day

My earthy growing garden

Glistening after pouring rain

Your eyes are the dreamy chocolate truffles

That give me stomach aches

And the coconut caramel coffee beans

That keep me up all day

Don’t tell me you want an ocean blue

That all the boys will chase

Your golden colored irises

Are all I see each day

This is amazing. So many girls (and guys) are insecure about one part of their look or another but when people truly love one another, those minor insecurities just melt away. This perfectly captures how someone can love something that another dislikes about him or herself simply because the first person loves the other unconditionally. Your imagery is fantastic and the message is superb!
