She had a small little shrug
the one that tore her skin
towards the herds of sheep
that nestled their heads
between the empty canvass field
and the sun that welded the heat
each and every morning

Her hands lowered towards her waist
like a small wedge between the cliff
and her dainty set of feet
became the ridges quest to find its cracks

Her shoulders became slightly larger;
against the backdrop of the western sunrise
where she pulled a sliver of the branch
that rested above her head
and passed it over to the breast of the wind

Just a slight nod
passive with her arms
like limbs of the trees back

Her back shoulder
brought her eyes
off the plank that sat
off the pools right side

Forest, green eyes
shallow, small angels
each bereaved of their pasts
but never hurt by the crass paleness
of her long legs wrapped around his wide spread shoulders
inches away from his neck
like the eagles of the wind
that soared with their beaks towards the pacific ocean
as the sun waved with his hands
until the age of innocence
left them that night

She often swore that her eyelashes
would forgive his sins
that his index finger would stay
loyal to the beats of her heart

She swore to the tides of the pacific
that the stream that rolled down her neck
towards the linings of her stomach
would bend her eyes towards his heart
towards the love of a princess
into the cut of his denim, jean jacket.

Enjoyed the way you create a mood and illustrate the atmosphere and moment when innocence was lost.
