Consumption
Sweet delights in your tempestuous eyes do I see.
A mere turn of your lip towards your eyes
Tells me that your intentions are not pure
I do not know the reason behind your desire
What could it be to set your eyes ablaze?
Let me take a chance and say
That it might be lust or greed
Lo! Blinded by my prejudices;
I did not foresee those unyielding eyes!
I have a better answer to this villainous gaze.
It is like a black hole
Infinitely consuming
Never satiating
Destruction is its path
Taking with it all
Voracious
Rapacious
Desirous
Unrelenting
Power
