Blue-eyed Stranger

While every eye color is amazing, my personal favorite is blue. I don't know if it's because I myself have brown eyes, or because my entire family does, or because I'm so sick of "plain old brown" that I'm instantly drawn to something else, but blue has always stood out for me. Green is beautiful too, but I've found the vast majority of "green" to be a watered down, dilute green that nearly borders on gray. That's the case for blue a lot of the time too, BUT every so often...rarely...you stumble across someone who has such amazingly blue eyes that you can't look away. You're caught staring at them, feeling like an idiot but just unable to tear your gaze away from eyes that put sapphires to shame. In honor of the latest pair of blue eyes I've spotted, I've decided to post a poem here about them. :) This poem is written by Mandi Ducroq and is titled 'Blue-eyed Stranger'.

Blue-eyed Stranger Mandi Ducroq We don't know each other at all We may as well be on opposite sides of a wall But I've noticed you and I know you've seen me I see your sadness and I can't let it be A smile that could light up a stormy night If you let it show, a personality so bright Eyes as blue as a summer sky So insecure, you seem so shy Don't be scared, I just want to know What makes you so sad, that you don't want to show I don't think you even realise The pain I see reflected in beautiful blue eyes Just let it out, talk to me A soul in distress, I can't let it be I want to be a friend, perhaps a little more I'm giving you the key, be brave, open the door  The poem captures exactly what I'm thinking! ;) I love it!  -Myra  Princess of Rhymes
