Longing

His longing
Held him captive
To your beauty.
Your eyes 
Matched only by the cosmos
Of the night sky.
Your lips that bloomed
Like a red red rose.
Your hair silky
And soft
Like that of a petal.
Your voice greater than a mocking birds.
Without trying
You'd stole his heart
And as his vision blurred
For all who paled to you
You gave your heart to another
Whose demons
Danced with your devil.
