Wreckage - It Seemed I Met a Girl...

It seemed I met a girl.  A silver-shining grief
Has been reflecting on her iris – gray and azure.
As if a sailing ship has dashed against a reef
And in her gulf of velvet pupils lost its treasure.

A flashing magic force played on her radiant face.
It charmed me deep and drew as steadily as magnets.
My heart was sinking when... I heard her dangling pace.
The Earth was slipping when... I felt her silken fragrance.

I really got obsessed... And – lovely and bizarre –
One night she's given me her body's warmth and nacre –
Embracing alar arms and nectarine lips ajar...
I held her all that night – so tender, close, shaking...

Our story didn't start – because that's all that was.
One night she was my love – my Alpha and Omega.
God knows what she thought... My heart aches and adores
The one who has become forever my heartbreaker...

It seemed I met a girl.  A silver-shining grief
Has been reflecting on her iris – gray and azure.
As if a sailing ship has dashed against a reef
And gave her gulf of velvet pupils all its treasure.
