Zebra

There is a meek smile, paired with eyes
that shine like the midnight stars;
Her lips curl like flower petals
surrendering to the night;
Two arcs on her face carry
the burden of her sweetness;
And although she does not speak,
her song tames the wild beast
that had me locked, gaze and spirit,
on the black and white stripes she dons.
