His Eyes

I have never seen
The likes of his eyes,
Blended into one,
But only until marbleized.
I could only catch a glimpse
Of those magnificent orbs
Forests
In spring,
Collected into two marbles.
Sometimes,
It looks like a glimmer of sun shines through.
I wish,
I wish that I could have seen them more,
But he stole them away from the world.
He hid them
Behind his ocean of onyx curls.
He did share
His shining smile,
Brighter than the sun
And it appears more frequent too.
It lit up the room.
I wish I could have gotten his name.
