The Colour Of Your Eyes

What is the most captivating sight to behold?
Is it the beauty of the sky at dusk 
with its blended pink and orange and golden hue?
A sunset creating an ever changing art 
as it paints it’s way steadily across the skies? 

Perhaps its reflection, spread out before itself 
like a bright, multicoloured blanket 
as it sinks into the near stillness of the water? 
It can mesmerize the soul and take your breath away 
and to miss one second, is to miss a masterpiece. 

But I would rather watch the sunset 
reflected in pools of the palest blue; 
I would let that wondrous work of art 
sink unseen, into the depth of the darkest ocean, 
instead to gaze upon the colour of your eyes.
