Blue Eyes & Soft Skies

Sun Ra

Blue Eyes, a voice so delicate like dying doves' cries
An aura that almost envelopes your entire soul
Her affectionate attitude, amplitudes your mood as a whole
This, nothing more than a love letter
This, a note of gratitude, but better
I wrote this to let you know that I appreciate you, blue eyes
I wrote this to hint at the fact that I love you, and your hellos and goodbyes
You
And your hellos and goodbyes
Just make sure when I die, the last color of an iris I spot on sight
Are your beautiful blue eyes
