the colour of your eyes is natural brown.

The colour of your eyes is natural brown, and that means you are happy. It means you are gentle and you are calm, you're wrapped in the earth's embrace in cooling darkness, and the soft caress of te world. It means you are filled with love and the innocence of new acorns, but that does not mean you do not have the strength of oak trees. The colour of your eyes is brown, but you will never waver and fall like the leaves in autumn.

The light in your eyes is blazing red, and that means there's been blood. It means you have set the world aflame, so bright and blinding that it burns through the mind of everyone who sees. It means you char the flesh and take the heated blood as sacrifice, splattering it across the pavement in careless delight. The light in your eyes is red, but you will never burn out and die like a fire left to starve.

The undertone of your eyes is softened blue, and that means you've come to rest. It means you have momentarily stopped burning to sweep yourself away in the sea, to see what lies below the waves and if they're worth saving. It means you've drowned the sun and the moon and turned them into fish and flora, and allowed the sea to embrace you in much a different way than before. The undertone of your eyes is blue, but you are not crying of misery and you will never drown yourself and cool your still-beating heart like a pearl long since forgotten.

The shadows of your eyes are hidden mirror-black, spangled with stars, and that means you've delved so deep into the ocean you've fallen into starlight. It means you have begun to burn and fly across the winds, breathing and laughing and ever wayward across the sky that at some point was the sea. It means there's no rain up here, no trees or hiding city, only a speck of cloud and all the watching stars, burning lesser than you, but approving of your joy. The shadows of your eyes are mirror black, but you are not closed off from the world and you will never lose your wings and fall from the sky like the least of the heavens.

The colour of your eyes is breathtaking brown and within them sparkles a million jewels, a million memories of experiences both long gone and not yet been. The colour of your eyes is brown and never have I seen two gemstones so radiant.
