sunset in kingston, jamaica 3/23/23 (taken on a disposable camera)

cocoa eyes

real subtle, real warm

the kind that calms a storm

an aura that feels like silver and gold

telling me how real ones never fold

looking and leaning into the beauty

something about this feels like a movie

safe from the cacophony of our daily lives

i am so comforted by those cocoa eyes

honey eyes

gentle, yet ready to play

soft, in a prominent way

sharing stories in an eager key

speaking a language of serenity

guided toward big hearts and open hands

so very little of my life was found in the plans

feelings that resemble the ever changing skies

a soul could be mesmerized by these honey eyes
