Emeralds and Ice
Eyes meet,
everything else loses focus,
the air sizzles
between us
becoming an almost haze
that secludes us
from our surroundings.
Emerald green orbs
ensnared by ice blue.
Caught within a stare again,
your will
pulling at my neck,
towards you,
all else seems to hush,
even from across the bar
I can pick out your scent.
Ice blue orbs
ensnared by emerald green.
Eyes converge
on a moonless night,
the melody of the dark
sings in our ears,
serenading the impulses
we hunger to act on,
as the distance between us shrinks
you are almost within reach.
Emerald green orbs
caressed by ice blue.
Locked in a gaze
as our bodies are entwined
claws slicing
into our hides,
blood sliding down our skin
from us
ravaging each other
leaving us panting.
Ice blue orbs
caressing emerald green.
