Cobalt hair Endowed with Life Alabaster skin Silken arms, long fingers Eyes of liquid silver Depthless black pupils Lips of blood red Moist, full Long Dark Flowing satin Stars in her hair She treads the air Dances in the moon beams Sings the sea’s siren song Crashes the rocks Calls to the soul Sweet Death’s peace Whispering the ancient mysteries To my waiting ear. 6-26-98
