o’ darlin dear maiden, sweet serenadin’,
charms all the boys that go to her chasin,
latin with passion black holes for eyes,
an inferno of no other, bedazzling light,
blush of stars, glowin’ a nebula of pink,
a constellation dances across her cheek,
the sweet aroma that wafts across space,
senses overwhelmed, caught red in the face,
cursing me in flames lasting for days,
the drugs, the drinks, & desires to create,
unable to suppress an irresistible love,
but i refuse to be ashes left burnin’ up.
