Description
A budding morrow
rests and breathes
in the specks
of dusk
between your lashes.
Honeystars
they shine
within an earthly heaven,
sweet
safe promise
of warmth.
Like a chestnut leaf
placed
through the pages
of my restless story
you keep dreams
bright
and still.
Living proof
that firefly flames
can give rise
to an eternal
summer day,
you are
the laugh of the forest
after rain.
In your gaze:
ground castle
on the edge
of the world,
is the dark
made small.

I hear that a lot, and though I can't deny that brown eyes are more common, I have never seen a pair that is equal to the other.
I'm glad you liked the poem. I wrote it in one breath and it made me feel better.

You mean you haven't found anything better than brown eyes? I can't say which is my favorite (though it might be green!), but eye colors are just eye colors! It always good to write a poem like that, and especially once it takes the edge off. I think I might write a piece tonight.

Why are you so hell bent on hating brown eyes?? 
I really hope you can write.

I'm just biased! You see...I'm not the biggest fan of my personal looks!
I'm still thinking. I think I have something and I really just need to sit down and do it.

Fine, I can't argue with that, but you should get a better mirror!
Sometimes the "sit down and do it" part is the hardest.

Don't tell the others, but yeah, I think brown eyes are deeper to look into. Beautiful imagery here. Lovely work, my friend.

I have brown eyes, my sister's are almost black, and the bitch is a natural red head too *turns green with envy*
Of course you are welcome.

This is sweet. I might have actually melted a little when I read it. It's also nice because its a change from the darker and heavier things that I've been both reading and writing lately.
I have to agree about brown eyes. My favorite ex-gf was of Filipino descent, and was gorgeous in general but had amazing blackpool eyes that I could drown in.
There's something to be said for green eyes as well, and I'm not entirely certain that I could nail down an absolute favorite between the two.

Thank you so much for your beautiful comment! This poem was born out of a need to feel better myself so I am truly happy it could give you some lightness.
I can't really choose between green and brown eyes either but someone made me notice how the latter seem to be less appreciated, I thought that maybe not enough poets have fallen in love with them.

Brown eyes are maybe more common, and therefore get less attention, but Van Morrison wrote a song about them, so they can't complain too much. Regardless, your poem is quite lovely.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Ahhh how lovely this is! It's difficult to pick a favorite part, though stanzas 3 and 4 especially stand out.
I also love the word honeystars.

I am truly glad you think so.
I'm not sure if it is an actual word or if I made it up, lol I found it jotted down under another poem in one of my notebooks.

Anche questa è molto bella Isabella, leggendo questa poesia si respira romanticismo completamente. Penso che quando è l'amore il nostro motore si può fare di tutto e tutto bene soprattutto.

I know that feeling rather well. 
So striking,
Full of wonder,
Mystery, and depth...
Always inviting me
to lose myself within
beckoning me to
explore your soul,
your twin portals
to other realms,
and the way
you view others,
even the world.
Passion is the phoenix
rising, reflected in your
dual honey-amber orbs,
ever sparking hope
within mine.
I seriously love your writing. Have you ever been published or considered getting published? If so, I would pre-order signed copies of your work in a heartbeat. This poem is beautiful. It makes me want to be acquainted with the person it is written for.

Writing is often my saving grace.

My goodness you are SO AMAZING...I love your response to bits!
D'aw you are too kind

When you publish your book I definitely want a copy.
I always find it amusing that such amazing writers can be uncertain about their own work. (yes I mean you)
Your humility is to your credit though.

I'm just now warming up to the idea but I love how you said when.
You are making me blush...I'm really honored you think my work is worth publishing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I adore your writing, and that is something that I'm never insincere about. cholie and I were teasing a little, but out of genuine admiration and affection. I just hope that You'll sign my copy when I buy your book.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Very well said!!! I couldn't agree more!!! Perhaps we could start a fan club.
Yes, you and should have dibs on the first two signed copies!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fan club, minor cult, whatever. I'll sign up.
I think so too. Hopefully she'll remember the little people when she reaches the top.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yay!!! I have no doubt she'll remember the "little" people well. After all, she does have a cheesecake heart.

I have no doubt either. But teasing her is way too much fun.

I was wondering what you meant by teasing but then I went to feature my favorite comments and saw the exchange between you and cholie ...you have no idea how much I am smiling, you guys made my night.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
There was teasing involved, however it was also serious! I would love to see your work published so that it could be purchased!

Oh man what have I done to be surrounded by such lovely souls....you are all too kind!!
On this note, have you ever published your work?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
By simply being your wonderfully amazing, unconditionally loving self!!! The genuine kindness and acceptance that exudes from every fiber of your being are the very magnets that draw those you refer to as "such lovely souls." It is easy to see how genuine you are and in a society that has a "fake it to make it" mentality, it is with natural ease that you attract people who are looking for the real deal...and you, dearheart, are the real deal!
Nono, darlingheart, no changing the subject. We are talking about you!!! And getting your work published!!! You're so sneaky and slick!!!
However, since you asked so kindly, I am most inclined to oblige with an answer...no, I have not. Does this surprise you?
In all seriousness, when you do get your work published, please, please, please let me know!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Now...even the picture on my ID card is blushing!
Me? Changing the subject? I have no idea what you are talking about. 
It does surprise me actually! I would love to own a collection of your poetry.
I promise, when I'll gather enough courage to do it, you will be the first to know!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww, you're positively adorable and endearing!!!
Yes, you. You with your stealthy cheesecake heart ways. I see what you're trying to accomplish!
Oh? Now why does this surprise you? Aww, well, I have been meaning to organize a collection of my poetry...so that I can look into getting them published. But, I'm still on the fence about it. I am still finding my confidence as a writer.
Huzzah!!! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So are you, my dear! 
Whoops...I've been caught by your incredibly efficient cheesecake-heart-radar.
I might be a terrible judge of myself but I know a good writer when I see one, and you my dear are a great writer! I understand the feeling of insecurity though.
Now that's what I call a perfect plan!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww!! Thank you! I'm relieved it isn't one-sided.
Aha! I knew it!!! Sneaky, sneaky cheesecake-hearted-Isa!!! Not to worry, your awesomeness hasn't wavered. 
Aw, thank you SOSOSO much!! That means tons to me especially coming from you! Ah, yes, insecurity. One day we will conquer and vanquish our insecurities.
Sweet!!! I'm glad you agree!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pffft...one sided, like that was even a possibility. 
It's the absolute truth!! Until that day we will keep doing our best to ignore them when they whisper in our ears.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww!!! 
You're the sweetest!!! True that, Isa, true that!! Sometimes we just need to tell them to "shut up and take a hike." Being polite with them isn't the way to go.

Since she's not here we can talk about her right?
I'm completely amazed by her poems, and kind of baffled that she isn't aware of her own awesomeness.
Also one of the kindest and most supportive people that I've run across on DA.
Still, I wouldn't want to see her get a swelled head. But I do want to buy her book, so I wish she'd hurry up and publish it already.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am right there with you. I adore her writing, so very much! Aw, yes, it was a bit of a shocker that she isn't aware of just how blazingly brilliant she truly is! Yes, she most definitely is one of the kindest and most supportive people I've met on here too!
Haha, I know what you mean. But don't worry, I have a feeling she's the type to make it a point to not let it get to her head. From my interactions with her, I can tell that she is an extremely grounded, down-to-earth individual. I do agree with you on that, too! I am tempted to run off with her writing so that I can get her work published...so that I can buy it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It would be fun to hijack the thread and do a large scale love bomb, so that she has like a zillion messages when she checks, but unfortunately I lack the organizational skills to pull it off. But if anyone stumbles across this by happenstance. feel free to join in the fun.
