Arkansas eyes

dark green,
kelly green,
brown and purple too,
pink into magenta,
panoramic view.

deep green,
soft green,
white and cobalt blue,
silver water flashing,
i think i always knew.

wild green,
cool green,
mountains through and through,
rocky river tumbling,
our secret thoughts askew.

pale green,
warm green,
melting like the dew,
time moves down the river,
as i move into you.
