Into my world I reluctantly let you creep in
These deep brown eyes that hide a grave sin
My eyes, the key you want, to covet and steal
A messenger delivering an ill fated deal

Nondescript but wary, my deep brown eyes
A way you can enter with heavy felt sighs
A doorway to paths that circle, a road less trod
You see a way to own me, with a gentle prod

Into the dusky darkness, the valley of sheer pride
My eyes ride up front, too bold to just hide
See all and tell all is a statement of fact
You mumble this platitude with heartfelt tact

My eyes tell no secrets, they shadow, they blur
All the while they are mocking, not quite a slur
You think they are beckoning, drawing you near
These deep brown eyes, they harbor a genuine fear
