Lashes Fair

Fragile bars of jet black, frame, reclaim
fallen foe ‘pon fair cheek tamed.
The scratch and sting of those misplaced
whilst rubbing palm on grimaced face
Upturned emphasis of souls delight,
caressed by tongue kisses in candlelight,
protector of twin orbs rare
shadow of all solar glare
eye lashes.

This is a very original offering here ... Jewish poetry including the Psalms uses this device ... parallelism ... and your have taken it another level ... pure professionalism.
