shade of brown

A shade of brown
dark almost black
eyes looking

my love
you lose me
in those eyes

a dark pool
without end
into which I fell

so long ago
on that night
late into the night

now my son
the same eyes
quiet brooding

echoing your look
a chink in my armor
a crack in my facade

a shade of brown
dark almost night
eyes looking down
