Iris

To me, yea, Iris is like bleu
The scent of yours all imbued
Behold your face all-rich, 
When I close my eyes bewitched

Wordsworth's daffodils to me, 
Membrane of the eyes of glee, 
That gives light to me in turn, 
Light that misleads the morn.

You are the genus iris, 
With sword-shaped leaves, 
Showy colored flowers, 
Displaying rainbow colors.

Your eyes green and deep, 
Deeper than the depth, 
Stilled waters at even, 
Eyes, break of the day, enliven.

I see a heart full of love, 
With the gentleness of a dove.
Feel, in her eyes, March, 
September in her heart.

IRIS, the goddess of the rainbow and massager of the Gods in Greek mythology would certainly be delighted by your poem Dr. Ram, as in it she would have seen her beauty reflected!
