Noughts and Crosses
The bitter fires in his eyes
And his voice like sinister velvet
Beckon her from across the room
She is chaos condensed
At the sound of her name, her being stirs
Her stormy eyes flash and she slithers over
No more words escape his lips
He speaks through the the slight furrow of his brow
And the menacing gleam in his eye
She is nebulous clouds and cosmic stars
The entropy of her essence envelops him
She smiles with a mouth of treacherous teeth
The two begin a poisonous waltz
This weary rivalry extends on into time
Its roots grow deeper and thicken with age
The overlapping paths of two planets in orbit
The heartstrings of two lovers tangled together
The lives of two enemies wrapped around one another
