Valleys
The moment was perfect
It meant defeat
Of my soul & my senses
My being & my rationale..
I stood defenseless
Too unarmed to resist
the momentous gleam
of her pearlescent eyes..
I was but prone
to the irresistible darts..
Cutting straight through
My suicidal heart…
The sapphires of her eyes
|radiated illume divine
Fierce, blazing….
blinding shine…
A gaze so stealthy,
so penetrating…
so clear, yet
so dilemmatic..
so unheld, yet
so helpless..
so strong, yet
so timid..
so precious, yet
so lost..
so appeasing, yet
so hungering..
So soothing,
yet
so deeply
punishing….
Turmoil.. turbulence.. uproar..
conceived within me
& everywhere…
Something but averted me
& I refrained,
I devoured my fire
within me..
Scorching my inside
into ashes..
Unseen.. agonizing.. clandestine
tolerance….
& like an innocent slayer
she turned away…
Unknown & ignorant
of what she left behind
In the deep.. dark… fiery
valley…
