Femme Fatale
Skin glowing lush green
tempestuous scene,
Calling out
"don't make it rain.
make thunderstorms please"
Glimmering like the Aegean sea.
Heat ascends to heaven,
humid nights ablaze,
eager eyes pleading for more
lifting in the haze
guzzling down the honey gold light
of my seraphic blaze.
A magician's best trick,
To make disappear a bad day,
like an angel.
Wings spread,
like nightingales
perfecting every sail.
Yearn deeply,
for the ground you kiss
your knees should miss.
Here, the rules I make
and leave a mark on you, surreal
like a flailing fairytale.
A quick kiss I blow,
and call it a night
the silver stars I gaze
to kiss heaven goodbye.
Hell breaking loose,
shots ring through the dark
Feel it most gaily,
the calm of the heart.
In my sharpened eyes,
a glowing flurry of smoke,
pouring thickly in
like the bronze moonlight.
Tattooed in my brain, a rose-encased gun
that slip onto my tender palms.
Like angels,
they fall to the vinyl floor
one shell at a time.
To my reflection against the ceramic wall,
I dance slowly and wistfully,
an elusive smile shaping my eyes.
