In Your Eyes - Ariana Jones

eyes with a color so deep 

one would wonder, 

if there’s any warmth behind them. 

inky and cold, carrying much intensity 

yet they soften when meeting mine. 

never did i ever care for brown eyes 

not even for my own, until you. 

no longer is brown dull and boring 

but a rich color like the earth 

keeping me grounded. 

doe brown eyes, 

that matches my morning coffee 

finding warmth and comfort 

in your eyes.
