Here's my latest:
Lustrous Ebony
She danced amidst the willows (the finest specimen),
Enthralled me by her beauty not of the race of men.
Lustrous hair of ebony against her olive back
And eyes of blue that muted her velvet coat of black.
Just then she heard the crackle of leaves beneath my feet.
She turned to me - lips parted - as my heart skipped a beat.
Half animal, half woman, she coyly trotted near
And stroked my face so coolly, this bliss was mixed with fear
For she was tall above me. Her touch was warm yet cold,
Her nature was seducing, and she was strong and bold.
And as her lips drew closer I thought of all the tales
That all the wise would tell us - where evil would prevail.
But I could not withdraw myself and when her lips touched mine
The feeling was unearthly, so thrilling, and divine.
But as the kiss continued I felt her steal my breath;
Yet then I saw her crying as I could sense my death.
And now she pulls me closer to kiss me one last time
But this unearthly pleasure feels now to be a crime...
Oh! now suddenly I feel a change within my heart
And I no longer feel that my soul will soon depart.
I open up my eyes from that kiss and then I see
There's a smile on the face framed by the lustrous ebony.
