She gazes upon me
With her lotus root face
Wearing Robes of Ocean Blue
Upon her head a sparkling diadem
Wreathed in Green Fire
Turning in her Great Coat
I take another step towards her
Embraced by her orchid hands
Taking me back home
Drowning in her hem and love
A necklace of clear green orbs
Hangs decorating her bare hollow throat
She spoke
Vibrating like winds of dirt
I want you
She had not just in appearance
But also sound
A riot of teeth
