"Sunflower Eyes"

Your eyes were like a sunflower

Comparable in beauty

With colors patterned

In the shape and design

 

Your eyes were like a sunflower

They drew me in

And swallowed me

Down into your heart where I'll be fine, I'll be fine

 

And my eyes were like a sunflower

Just like yours

But different in color

Contracting and eating your existence

 

This moment I cherish

Because your eyes hold so many secrets and

In that second of gaze connected by a line

I could see them all clearly without rose tint

 

I've taken off my pink hued glasses and

I see the world through clear thin glass

See it for what it is

Through your sunflower eyes

 

Fingerprints litter the glass

Making it difficult to see through to it's beauty

Tainted by past hands

Even without the rose applied

 

Will we ever see the world for what it is?

Maybe

If we look through sunflower eyes
