She has the appearance of black diamonds,
Glistening in the sun, her beauty is so bright.
What image is so glamorous that flees away demons?
What smile is so charming, that takes away my breath?
What beauty takes away my sight?
What eyes twinkle like the twilight?
What elegance makes me want to cheat death?
What love is so tender and mild, yet so strong?
What grace is so strong and steep?
What laugh is so idyllic
That seems to last forever yet so brief?
What words are so vivid , yet so pure?
What presence is heaven that attacks me cold?
Nothing else I need as my cure but her love.
Heart rate slows and eyelids open
I am back,...... back in a world I cannot escape.
