Vermilion Eyes
I saw her once, a fleeting glimpse,
Crimson glint, those vermillion eyes.
My love, it sprang up in an instant,
A twinkle in the night sky.
My heart raced, my pulse pounded,
My spirit felt an invisible flame.
My soul soared, my mind abounded,
My thoughts, they were not the same.
I searched in vain for her vermillion eyes,
I searched for her, in high and low,
But I never found her, no matter how hard I tried,
I almost forgot about her in life's ebb and flow.
But when I thought all was lost,
I found her when I faced my own demise.
When I met those eyes again, in the afterlife,
I saw her for who she really was, my surprise.
For she was death herself,
The one I had been seeking forever.
