Your Aventurine Eyes

Your Aventurine Eyes,

confounds me so.

like the lush green of the sea,

I burst through the surface,

tasting salt on skin and lips.

Your Aventurine Eyes,

crinkle in the shimmering light.

But for the likes of mine,

only a bedazzlement, only fit for sight.

It hurts me so not to call you mine,

but a golden heart of yours should not be undermined.

I possess, I confine.

I want your aventurine eyes on mine.

But to yoke oneself off from instinct,

is truly a test for the foolhardy. (Such as I!)

But if, I am allowed to see more half-moons,

and more frowning smiles,

by Gods, by heavens, I will oblige.

For hope that your aventurine eyes,

will someday land on mine.
