Her Eyes

She looked at me
As if she might find the stars 
As if lifting her gaze 
Might just rip us apart 
And when her lips met my own, 
They melted 
Into cravings so deep 
I felt them 
Exploding into the sun 
Ecstatic abyss
Turned inside out 
And set adrift 
Intent on finding space 
In the freckled sky 
To flaunt the diamonds 
In her soulful eyes 
Cast ablaze 
Wings spread wide 
The Phoenix sings of
A chapter's demise
