Warrior of Topaz Moon

Tears fall from a troubled sky,
fear takes over in her soul.
Body aching; heart pounding.
Can she break his merciless hold?

Her body is numb,
but she could feel her skin grow colder.
The icy blade exposed her breasts,
and it was still slicing her garments, ever lower.

If only? If only?
If only, can't help her now.
She made him leave; forced him away.
It's up to her to escape, somehow.

He doesn't even know where she is;
probably wouldn't care ...much.
She blindly turned his love away.
Afraid of his passion. Afraid of the rush.

That voice; so strange, slurred, and unfamiliar.
Back to reality. Time to force another breath.
The devil seemed to mock her behind dangerous eyes,
it made her fear the worst; expect death.

The hopeful moon shone bright in the sky
through the raging storms above her.
For a moment she thought she saw him there,
but unwillingly she wasn't sure.

Then she saw him again.
His dark sillhouette in the heart of that Topaz Moon.
Her heart stopped, but her mind raced.
How could he have arrived so soon?

How did he know she was here?
Of course he'd know. He's always had her in sight.
He's the Warrior of Topaz Moon,
protector of the night.

She wasn't sure when it happened,
but now she was resting against a nearby tree.
Confused by the swiftness of his sword,
and the coward at his feet.

How did it happen so fast?
There must have been a fight,
but as she fought to remember,
she recalled only a flash of white light.

Startled from her thoughts;
there he is at her side.
So much power. So little mercy.
What a relief, he's on her side.

This is a moment of great pleasure.
His thick black hair. His liquid-bright green eyes.
Which she will always treat as precious treasures.
The emeralds that found her heart; and locked themselves inside.

How could she deny him?
Kill her soul? Rip her heart out?
He's always been the one.
He's always been around.

She owes it to herself.
She owes it to him.
The world will just have to deal with it.
All that matters is the two of them.

She smiles up at him sweetly.
Unspoken apology in her eyes.
He kisses her gently.
And together, in love, they fly.
