Midnight Poison

Rediscovered a poem from grade nine english... playing with sonnets

Your eyes sparkle like stars in midnight skies.

The moon itself is trapped beneath your skin.

A brilliant aura glows and blinds my eyes.

Your beauty is mysterious, never dim.

Your voice, it beckons like a gentle breeze

daring in the darkness that's your cover.

Like a fawn before a hunter, I freeze;

you hold my heart yet beckon to your lover.

You're all that's sweet and savory in the night time

but 'hind your blinding beauty lurk foul lies.

Like thieves, cut-throats and robbers in the grime

the night, once sweet, I've now learned to despise.

Though from afar a free midnight you seem,

murderers darkness hides, and in your soul they teem.
