Aya

Cold eyes of amethyst; what do they hide?
Flat, icy glares conceal a heart of fire
Glittering violet shields what lies inside
Plum eyes never smile; they show only ire
Iv'ry skin stained wine-red with others' blood
Melts to garnet hair; beauty is skin-deep,
he feels, as redness flows, as of a flood
Spilt by sword; down snowy-white cheeks tears seep
No one is a true murderer, at heart;
His heart is alabaster pure; his skin
as white; he merely plays the killer's part
But with his soul he will pay for his sin,
Sadly, for all his beauty, all his might,
He'll be lost, if he won't turn to the light.
