Her eyes more beautful than any fantasy could 
dare to dream for, inside them a living light of 
elequesnce, shining for only those eyes wished to see. 
Her dress, the envy of his every sence- wrapped about 
her like a dark sunshine. 
Each smile carries with it a biut of heaven, 
the most holy of messeges it sends forth. 
And for an instant he undersands it's meaning. 
All thoughts and notions of life reform to accept 
what will never be. 
In that same instant his heart sinks to the 
bowels of hell, where it is ripped asunder- lasting 
an eternity for only a moment. A little piece of 
him dies with every extreaneous breath that her 
warmth burns him-Sears him with the pain of lonliness, 
of doubt and acceptance. 
They rip at every rabric of his being- a 
backlash or tortuous agony, AND he wishes for it 
never to end. 
But it does. His sences retake him. Thought 
battles it's way back, conquers him-and with it 
destroys the excruciating pleasure, hurdling him 
into disaray. 
He would give anything for a chance at that 
moment, just to be near her seraphic beauty- her 
wave of pain. 
His most powerful emotions exploited, his 
entire life spent in a moment, he folds beneath 
his own weight and can do nothing to stop it. 
Hitting the ground lifeless, his heart stops and 
his blood runs cold. With his last breath he 
releases his weary soul into the sweet perfumed air. 
As he ascends to the heavens he weeps, for no 
thing there will make him so happy as a flash of her 
smile.
