She Looked Into His Eyes

She looked into his eyes, Sought and found that which he hid From all the world; She came to know that he Loved her, She smiled and talked to him, He was mesmerised by her charms: She seemed Free--Free from the World-- He tried looking away, But couldn't-- Did what she asked him to, Except that she couldn't get him To move away from her now... So one fine day, As he held his breath, Watching her dab the tip of a knife Into that Bottle labelled 'Sweet', He knew her Sweetness Was beyond all doubt: She smiled at him, Looked into his eyes-- A tear drop seemed to form in hers-- Those beautiful, brown eyes.. While this happened, she told him to be careful, "I don't want you to get hurt", she said. He didn't understand, She didn't explain. Only smiled. Then, thrust the knife into his chest! She backed away, dropping the bottle: It now read, 'Poison'-- She cried to herself and ran away. He didn't stop her: Just remembered her beautiful smile, Closed his eyes, Rolled down softly to the floor, And fell into an eternal, Blissful sleep.....
