My Blue Black Eyes

Entry to our poetry competition from Greece

Somebody asks me to

What s going on with you
Can’t find the difference
Iris i used to know
Colours of all i show
Don’t make a reference
Then i stand up and say I am the one who made
This world’s innovation
Have something real rare
A new colour to refer
My blue black mutation
I see the big
i see the huge
My eyes out of rules
I feel the right my eyes so bright
Can dance all the night
I look at you I pray for too
Can do what you do
No more despair
You’ll see me there
My eyes can dare
Maybe it ‘s a bit of hard
But if we all take part
The miracle is coming
Sing all this song with me
Believe it and you will see
Aniridia will vanish
Wear on my sunny glass
Never i use the flash
Cause iris is absent
But i realize so long
Everyone can be strong
Despite of his lackness
