The porcelain of her smile gleams
iridescent in his stagnant memory,
complementing her
cerulean eye.
Pristine china white and stormy beryl
churn over the victims of her gorgon gaze
churn over the victims of her gorgon gaze
as a thick syrup of
malice drips
from the corners
of a gaping,
black mouth like a cat's, frozen in a frown.
black mouth like a cat's, frozen in a frown.
Praying for safety
cloaked in deception
as he plunged beneath the undertow of night,
a glance illuminated his
a glance illuminated his
heart, hardened
by
her wicked hair of snakes.
