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.
