eyes like two sparkling beads of ebony
breaking through the darkness
glittering like celestial jewels
her smile is ivory against porcelain skin
eyebrows arched like rainbows
as her smile radiates all the colors
that her soul cannot reflect
her heart is hidden beneath beds of thorns
waiting for the blade to break the vines,
to release her for all eternity
