The third one a surprise
it was those eyes dark
enough to drown the moon
brown as midnight violets
we were heat lightning
quick forbidden captive
waves and arms like love
whispery and graceful
this one knew how to take
a thing and break it like
a brittle stick just let it fall
around him ground
littered with shiny trinkets
that once caught his eye
maybe that’s unfair he said
he didn’t know there:
a bad idea from the start
ablaze with August heat
one quickly learns that
some hearts need doors
even especially secret
sinning starlight-swimming
blueberry-pie-sweet this
time few regrets see how you
get back what you dish out?
