The Blackest Heart

Upon inspection

it would seem nothing but grief seeps from behind her sculpted lips. Her pink tongue, slicing through good and bad alike as all her emotions blend into a volatile concoction of fury. But once you said, no one could love her black heart, she took it upon its armoured layers to unfold and reveal the riot of colour coalescing to create the most beautiful onyx you would ever see. 

What do you know of scorching amber and the murderous cacophony of a love like red? Blazing through every fibre and vein, relentless and forgiving  graceful and life-giving, allowing even the most unwanted of visitors to take refuge in its crimson shelter.

What do you know of the purple and plum of euphoric nights? Of feeling like home to travellers you’ve never met under intimate party lights?   And of the cool hues of blue as exhilaration ushers in arousal and this soft yet feral goddess of a being unfurls before you?   Does she stand out against the dark sky, rivulets of insanity and blinding truth tumbling from her soft skin?

Surely you see the shimmers of gold, struggling to hide beneath any surface,     when her joy and pain soar to the same indistinguishable crescendo. Or the emerald sting of her icy shoulder when your attention falters for but a moment away.

She is both jealous and over zealous but still immaculate in every way. 

A pink flush of vulnerability every now and then, since even ice melts when you place it near fire. Then the blush deepens into infinity pools of desire,    into which she’ll lure you, right to the very edge but whether you jump or retreat is not her concern.

Her deepest lust is only for eternal riches in mind and soul and your weak spirit between her  slender fingers to control

Often and at will, there'll be no colour at all, simply your reflection in her incorrigible eyes.  And what you fear most is that she knows your every move, but try as you might you never see her coming, as helplessly as you hate watching her leave.

And every single facet is as minuscule as it is vast. 

Unyielding, nourishing, earth shatteringly destructive.

For she is Woman. And there is a brazen force behind every ray that blends into her brave black heart.
