Pond

Deep in her soul he saw

a pond of light

a small oasis

in the middle of a desert of darkness

an endless desert

filled with dark desires

Her eyes told of the battle

the battle of the setting sun

green

for growth and understanding

black

for the darkness that will win

and red

for the blood to be spilled in rage

His soul was filled with light

and he hoped that through love

he could give some to her

for she was thirsty
