iris

a remnant of ancestral land

what left with the emerald isle

ocular traits 

those you so heavily rely on

suitors respond

alike the tides

to gravitational pull

lunar complex, while always present

tends to thrive after dusk

waxing toward full dilation 

waning

when you are done

sweet girl

be wary of orbital track

the beguiling moon 

is soon to go black

when your chin is lifted 

jaw seized in his clutch

before disarming to affection

aim your retinas 

toward the sun
