Desiree
Desiree captured his soul
that mirrors into her past.
Luring eyes black as coal
peers deep into waters vast.
Her sleek mermaid contour
silhouettes in morning sun.
Glowing skin shines so pure
suits the silk that looks newly spun.
She stares beyond her reflection
that no one else can see.
Her eyes fix in sole direction
hair to the wind flies free.
Blossoms fill mist with sweet scent
dispersing her seductive essence.
Longs only for her lost gent
who filled her heart in adolescence.
Desiree; he whispers with the wind
pulling her ever close inside.
Her aching heart wishes to ascend
since she can never be his bride.
