To Brown Eyes

If beauty could ever bear a name
It would be yours.
No woman in my mind is so fair,
Your tress is brown with a shade of innocence,
While your eyes brown a glow.
I have never seen lips so pure,
Nor a body so tender to hold.
The birds sing songs of peace,
But your voice beckons a thousand angels at your call.
You see me with your eyes
But through mine to my soul.
I can only dream of you, brown eyes
For you are beyond my reach
So tonight I will lay my head upon my pillow
And your name I will speak.
Though you may not hear it
And you may never know
It will be your love I will pray
That the gods will let me know.

like this piece...has a good flow to it. one thing...with the title and with the "brown eyes" in the 12th line, i expected the poem to have more reference to the eyes...to somehow make them more metaphorical in the poem.
