Sea blue eyes, your tempting touch, parched lips
Kissed once, twice, too many times. As
Sunlight shattered, falling just as raindrops
Stream down swollen cheeks. So bruised, so bitter.

Cupids with their pearls in palms, away from
Us, away from skin stung black and blue.
Words chocked to none, tears clogged by fear
And by you, the siren; and your vile, bittersweet appetite.
