    The sparkle of your sundry-hued eyes
    
                          
    Is like moist gleaming spheres,
    
                          
    Brightening lights causes their ebony to dwindle,
    
                          
    Your flecked iris' are speckled
    
                          
    With amber flakes of turquoise,
    
                          
    Burgeon—
    
                          
    I dim the lights
    
                          

    
                          
    And witness
    
                          
    Ebon pupils nudging raw-sienna
    
                          
    And cerulean blues to brink of whiteness
    
                          
    Amazing me,
    
                          
    For in your eyes—
    
                          
    I see my reflection.
