She Threatens Demons
She threatens demons
with her imposing chocolate eyes
puffy rose lips
a dance of her hand
She commands shadows to turn to pearl
her honey hair long and rich
flecks of light
Tames imaginations
dwelling in the dark
She smothers them in her pillow
She dreams of crayons and ice cream
She smiles and monsters melt
Guardians are linked around her bed
Shh...
Do not wake her lest she see
what we know
and become afraid
