His Eyes Poem by Unintelligible Susurration

His Eyes



I can still perceive
The sound of
Ringing bells
That was
The sound
Of laughter

I recall how
The soft-spoken voice
Called my name
In the frenzy
Of the swirling snow

I remember
Every single thing
Except the color
Of his eyes

Were they the color
Of the sky
Before a storm
Or the color
Of the ocean blue

Maybe they were
The constant hue
Of the bark
On the tree
Beneath my window

I am certain
They were a shade
Of rich brown earth
After the showers

I was too afraid
To even glance
At his eyes
For fear
They would
Keep me awake
All through the night

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Well this is a poem about a nonexistent boy who the narrator has seem to have forgotten what the color of his eyes were. This is one of those poems that is not particularly about me. I don't know - and have never known - any boy of whom I've forgotten the color of his eyes, haha. I don't have any guy friends but I do have crushes xD So, this poem was inspired by a crush. Also, I got the idea of writing this poem from a lyric of a song: 'It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten what the color of her eyes were...' And by the way, his eyes are green ;)
