Star Crossed Love

Ice cold eyes
Gaze upon her
From the dark.

Hunger steals
Through his veins
As he sighs.

He will watch
Until the time
Is correct.

Before the girl knows
She's even being stalked,
His arms envelope
Her shivering body.

Screams pour out into
The chilled air of the night.
Suddenly silence
Becomes ear deafening.

Absolution is
Reached as her eyes meet his;
Words could not describe...
Their love knows no limit.

Loving eyes
Fix upon his
Smiling face

Desire
Consumes them both
As they kiss.

For so long
They have waited
To embrace.

After so many years, their love is still star crossed strong.

Author notes

Hmm.. I thought this was a pretty interesting idea, so I decided to enter. This is a Nibor, and I hope I didn't butcher the form too awfully bad. e e; I read and commented on Abstraction by LdyBrknWing.

Yes.. For those of you that know me a little more personally, I bet I know where you THOUGHT I was going with this.. SO HAH! Proved you all wrong!

However, I do feel that I need to explain the very last line. No, I wasn't out of words that could rhyme with the word "long." The phrase "star crossed love" is borrowed from Romeo and Julliet, and it pretty much means that their love was destined to fail from the get go. ~Shrug.~ HAD to have my irony in there somewhere.

    Ahaha...I bet you know what this reminded ME of! It fits too...somehow...Except! It's not destined to fail! *refuses to accept that* So there! I don't know if it was about them or not, but that's my interpretation. Perdy write here, my dear.
