her beauty kills the mortal man
she draws away his roaming eyes
because her beauty truly can
her skill would awe the sporting fan
she catches eyes like pop up flies
her beauty kills the mortal man
this is the start of end's time span,
the taking of his very cries
because her beauty truly can
it does for there is not a ban
then steals the breath from chests that rise
her beauty kills the mortal man
asphyxiation is so grande,
he faints before her in his tries
because her beauty truly can
it steals his heart into her hand
his soul engages in goodbyes
her beauty kills the mortal man
because her beauty truly can
(C)2012, Christos Rigakos
