Figure by the pond
By: Frank Perillo
The ocean eyes
That stare at me
Makes me wonder
Who it could be
Moonlit figure
Raven hair
Windswept clothing
With complexion fair
Voice of an angel
Soft and sweet
Stare of death
Tone of deceit
Shake of my body
Feeling of dread
The realization
Soon I’ll be dead
I run away
Into the night
One misstep
I’ll see the light
Down I tumble
To the pond below
Deep in the water
Forever I’ll go
