A dozen shots of topaz eyes—
Glaring
Glowering
Gazing beneath lashes
Her breath caught a dozen times—
In astonishment
In anticipation
In amazement
The thirst a dozen times stronger—
For the blood
That ran
In her veins
She longed a hundred dozen times—
To touch
The beautifully
Sculpted face
Eternal love in entwining fingers—
Forever and a day
Forevermore
Forever a dozen times over
A dozen shots of topaz eyes
