Sunset Rues and Midnight Blues

Toxic

That stare of yours 

Unnerves me

Gazing starlight

Burns me bright

You wash me ashore

With a promise of love

A future together

With golden words

And breezy nights

Hazy eyes filled with thoughts

Drive me crazy

Your unmarked territory

Sizzles with arlite

You wedge a sword

Between my ribs

Plunge it deep

And twist it right

For me to realize

What a honed, 

Honey-dripping

Double edged sword you are.
