Chocolate Eyes
  Nobody writes poems about my brown eyes, rich like the finest chocolate but tender like a mother’s love
  Nobody looks at me and gets lost in the deepness of my gaze, wondering what these big, sad eyes dream about when they are shut
  Nobody stares through the windows of my soul long enough to notice the stars scattered within, hopeful, longing, waiting
  Waiting for somebody to write me my poem
  My poem comparing my dirt colored eyes to the pinecone freshly fallen from the tree, soon to sprout into something greater
  Or talk about the amber hues hidden beneath the autumn leaves
  Or even describe the glimmer so subtle, but as wonderful as a sliver of the silver moon on a clear night
  Why do I wait for this poet of mine to come
  Why do I wait for the blue eyes, as clear as the skies
  As deep as the sea, to be replaced with me
  I no longer wait for this poem
  For i found the best artist to paint this masterpiece
  Was a brown eyed girl like me

I was inspired by the complete and utter lack of appreciation for girls with dark eyes. It bothered me, so I fixed the problem by writing my own.
