I told you your eyes were pretty
twin jade pools
get lost in ocean depths
deep sadness hides
behind cloudy playfulness
sparklers of excitment flashes
torrential rain of hurt

You held my face in your hands when you kissed me
lips a velvety smooth
parted surprise, anxious for more
rhythmic solace
melted peripherals
halted time

My face and heart flushed
you pulled away
breathless
hopeful reciprocation of yearning
bittersweet, those emerald eyes
