The jewels in her eyes
filled him, more than the size of a lexicon
that he couldn't even comprehend himself
with the pure rich flavor
of love
the sweetness of her purity
her hair was chocolate-like
with a pinch of honey

loved, wed, birthed, and fled
he did so
after the pearl they created
with an almost loveless love
bore from the gorgeous jewel
that shattered.
he had extracted her shine.
and now look where love got her.
he was now rich
