Stars rythmically dance across a glassy surface.
Deep amber smoking into a light emrald green.
Rings around those amber hughs, etching into white.
Clear as a blue sky.
Hopeless as a lost cause.
Complimented by long lashes.
Strategically placed into pale sparkly skin.
Set apart from strong masculine features, your eyes are delicate, and perfect.
