Peridots shimmer in Jezebel's eyes,
Making little rainbows dance around her as she cries.
Emerald leaves harbinger another long summer,
throw a cloak of shadow on the doorway she stands under.
Once upon a time she wielded beauty like a sword.
The hearts of men were harps; she strummed along with every chord.
Other women marveled at those green eyes jealously.
their faces flushed from red -hot rage or pale pink impotency.
Envy is a green that glitters from her icy diamond heart-stone.
And her tears still turn to peridots when she weeps in bed alone.
Age threatens like a winter storm when the north wind cools;
summer is her mirror, set with pretty little green teardrop jewels.
