Break of the Day-W

To me, yea, Iris is invisible, the scent of yours all pervading, Behold your face all-rich, When I close my eyes. Wordsworth's daffodils to me, Membrane of the eyes, that gives light to me, Light that misleads the morn. You are the genus iris, with sword-shaped leaves, Showy coloured flowers, displaying rainbow colours Your eyes green and deep, Deeper than the depth, Stilled waters at even, those eyes, break of the day. I see a heart full of love, with the gentleness of a dove, Feel in her eyes March, September in her heart. ===================== Seventh Place win in Contest: My first (second) poem on the soup by P.D. The Poem was posted on 16-6-2005, the day I joined the PS. The first being Sonnet written in Optimist Park have been entered in the earlier contest. This is second poem posted on the same day.
