Her piercingly green eyes
Meet his strikingly black ones
And words fail him,
As his emotions run
Down a path he
Didn’t know existed

Bitterness, fighting
Striking, screaming…
All home life
Forgotten, as he
Falls into the
Far depths of an
Emerald green sea,
Sinking to the
Glowing bottom,
Where still there is
No darkness

Feelings astray,
Not knowing what
To do
Losing himself,
All for the
Green-eyed beauty
In front of him

Is this love?
How can I know
When I’ve never
Felt anything even
Close to the
Feeling before?

His thoughts
Speak of his
Parents, never
The loving type,
And of this
Newfound friend,
This newfound emotion

He never knew
How compelling,
How overpowering
Her green eyes were,
Not til now,
Til he’d actually
Seen them sparkle
In all her
Luminous beauty

Now, though
All he wanted
Was to see
Them always,
Green eyes
Lovely, beautiful
And honest

What he’s
Never known

But what he
Needs
