Black

Unruly raven curls tumble down,
Tips dancing along the water
As she tilts her head back,
Eyes closed and face to the sky.

Water bubbles around her,
Leaving behind goose-bumps
On cooling porcelain skin
As she lounges in the streams flow.

You close your eyes and listen to the sounds
Of the glen you have discovered,
The gently babbling creek
And soothing rustle of the trees,
Wondering when you will experience
Such peace again.

Your gaze returns to find her
Watching you with hooded eyes.
Slowly, sensually, she rises
As she prowls towards you.

Endless charcoal eyes have captured you
Just as surely now as they did the first time,
And the passion you see sears you
Even as a chill slithers down your spine.

You have created a monster;
And you love every moment.
