Bitter Green Eyes

Rays set to illuminate her left Making her form a black silhouette As she twirls with ribbons in her hair The sun gives her gold curls a halo Giving her sea eyes more life to drown you She turns and flashes you a last smile Night wind blows her redolence toward you Wrapping you in living desire As she dances into the darkness The moon scoffs at your loss your impulse Passion to rage as you’ve lost her again You storm out of the moons mocking light Laughter sets way to the teasing sun Seething with angst, desire for dusk Racing to the cliff waiting for her The sun setting behind the sea line Then fireflies light your bitter green eyes As they linger on the clear cold sky Waves jump to kiss the maiden goodnight Blushing the azure sky fire red Out of the sun she appears dancing She smiles, laughs and winds around you Lingering behind you taunting you Tying, lashing your stomach in knots Sun reflects her alabaster skin Fair with alive eyes and honey curls Alluring, will crushing temptation The sun is fading below the sea Turning seizing her delicate arms Only to have her slip through in fear The waves reach wash away the left light Cast an abhor glance atop bare skin   As she danced into the darkness Fireflies shed more light than the sun Cast long shadows of her fading shape You lunge after her, reaching her hand The suns slow evanescence over The moon beamed at the failed attempt Laughter rang with you into the sea
