Brown- Your Eyes

Brown – Your Eyes

Dark and rich
As nature 
Color of the trees and soil
A hue of luminous browns
A blend of shadows in the sky 
The color of your eyes

Gazing brings me deeper 
As I descend into colors so rustic
Shades of taupe fading at dusk
Taking me deeper into your sight
Like twilight 

Chocolate coffee 
Galloping horses from Renaissance
Embroidered in a spectrum 
A gallery of browns
Cover me like a gown

The colors of the earth
As in the chestnut tree
Where we sit 
Your eyes find me 
I surrender
To the splendor
Of your eyes

Margaret What a splendid and creative write. You took a "bland" color and turned it into some great things. Thanks for the wonderful comment on my Friendship poem. Welcome to The Soup.
