iris

You are the iris of my eye

the apple may have gone

the pears and strawberries

and chocolate and swansongs

you are the iris of my eye

oh beautiful iris

I know you are there

to see me safe beyond 

my own closed eyes

you are the transparent cornea

of my eye

all else is wild and blue

so true to you

you are the translucent cornea 

of mine eye

you are the steadfast keeper the cornea

of mine  own blue eyes

you are the lashes that surround my eyes

your long swift lashes that blink out daily sun rays

you are the lashes of my eyes

so soft and feathery and light 

you are the sunshades for mine eyes

in driving light and dizzy night lights

you are the lashes of mine eyes

you are the whites in my eyes

the pure white with blood veins beyond

sometimes clear after a long summers slumber

sometimes red after a night of dreadful insomnia

you are the whites of mine own eyes

I love the best the iris of mine own eyes

when your  eyes meet mine

I see your iris deep and so divine

you are the iris of mine own eyes

in moods you widen in anger you shrink

I can tell who you are when my iris meets

thine own iris in your own minds eye

I love the best my iris deep in my eyes

I love to see your iris too

when thine eyes meet mine

where east meets west

where south meets north

the iris clicks

the lashes whish

the whites are bright

you are the iris of my night

You are the pupil of mine own eyes My pupil deep and black Your iris will never hold back My pupil my iris my cornea my white My lashes gently feather in slumber All that summer night

moons fairest daughter (dr) I have changed the cornea verses. tell me if better?

[Moonie]

As a doctor, i would say that the cornea is transparent...other than the poem is quite innovative and beautiful! ❤

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

Yes I know I'll change word what can I say instead of cornea

[Moonie]

The cornea must be transparent...cannot be translucent. I am so sorry i am bringing science into this... say "glassy cornea" instead of translucent..

So beautiful and wonderful use of words. The eyes. Window to all things if we pay attention. I liked how you made the reader feel and understand your words. Thank you Julie for sharing the amazing poetry.

They are. A woman with kindness and gentleness in her eyes. Can calm down a wild beast. You are welcome dear Julie.
