Almond Eyes.

Come spring, she leaped across the grassy dune,

Beaming with sheer joy as she hummed a halcyon tune.

Her beauteous almond eyes- the biggest, the brightest.

A bonnie spotted doe in her warm, homely forest

 

Come summer, by her gushing little lake she played.

When upon a solitary, pensive buck her eyes she laid.

Eyes met across the smiling lake; too soon gazes parted.

While his eyes curiously lingered, hers wandered on ahead.

 

Come monsoon, he adored her eyes, her gilded coat, her bushy tail.

The passionate warmth in her eyes with affection made him frail.

Yet, she went on with her blissful life- devoid of any care.

Oblivious of the buck who always stopped to stare.

 

Come winter, by his side chattering happily she grazed.

Soon, his feelings faded; by almond eyes no longer crazed.

Like currents in the water, apart they drifted and drifted.

New lake. Nonchalant silence. No words were said.

 

Come fall, she found that he still leaped through her mind.

The emotion she once scoffed in her heart now enshrined.

Eyes met across the smiling lake; too soon gazes parted.

While her dull eyes wistfully lingered, his wandered on ahead.
