Your Eyes

I looked and
Tried to be.
I do feel something and
I tried to understand
What I see in your eyes.

I look long.
I see a compelling brown/green penumbra,
I see hazel and green splashes inside with
Beautiful speckles of black and dark brown.
I try to read your eyes.

I look deep,
In the centre.
It's dark.
Is this love,
In me, or you?

I pull back.
I see your eyes
Like I have seen before
In an animal, wet, round, gelatinous,
Alive (temporarily) and searching me.
