Luminous Fire-Eyes
Formally known as Moon-Milk-Eyes
your halo sets atop your flaming eyes
Your luminous visage, so fraught with peril and fear
Collides with your soft milky voice
Tears that expose feminine wares
Soft pearl white
But as I notice your glassy mirrors
Luminous Fire-Eyes, you glare
My beloved Moon-Milk-Eyes has vanished
Not destroyed or lost, nor is she decimated
She has whipped the very Sea into submission
Luminous Fire-Eyes, you destroy thine enemies with precision
Luminous Fire-Eyes,
Larger than the universe
I tremble at your feet
Luminous Fire-Eyes,
Get out of my head
Luminous Fire-Eyes,
Why did you have to touch my heart
Only to have the greatest disappearing act
Luminous Fire-Eyes, dear goddess that trails the Appalachian Mountains in one dainty step
That towers over Everest with a gliding frown
Must I ask your forgiveness once more?
