Brown Eyes

Pretty. Don't get enough credit.
Described as mud, dirt, or chocolates. Mundane.

But brown eyes are Gorgeous.
They aren't even brown. I feel it copper blend honey.
Like sunlight through a bottle of whiskey, color of the earth after it rains.
Hazelnuts. Gingerbread men. Chocolate brownies.
It makes me feel wrapped inside a blanket on the sofa having cocoa or tea or coffee.
Feels like Cinnamon, ginger, and cassia.
At times the dust from a horse's hooves.

I've heard people compare eyes to oceans.. galaxies...
But hers reminded me of all my favorite things.
I glance at the cup of coffee in my hands and look at her brown eyes.
I probably feel more awake with her.
It's so beautiful it blows my mind that people think it's common and boring.
Those brown eyes in the sun.
I had never noticed it at first,
but soon I noticed that 'brown' was not what her eye looked like.
It was like those golden rays melting into the eclipse.


Brown eyes are beautiful. 
They turn into a whole sunset of their own.
