A poem. (duh) About love. Told from two perspectives.

~Wind-Maid~

Fire, fire...

Burns in my soul.

An everlasting fire,

The flame of my love.

Kindled since youth;

Admiration to infatuation.

Friendship to longing.

Drowning

In the green depths of his eyes.

The darker Prince,

Small, quiet,

Lurking in the shadows.

Cunning, with a silver tongue.

Learned in the arts of speech.

My Prince,

My knight,

My love.

(GreenMagic)

Her hair

Shines like the sun.

Her eyes

Sparkle like the sea.

She turns,

Her dress swirling about her,

Her eyes light up as she sees me.

My heart soars.

When did I come to love her,

My old friend,

Companion of my youth.

Laughter in the quiet places,

Songs with no words.

A flower in her

Yellow hair.

She is a Princess indeed.

And I intend to make her mine.

~Wind-Maid~

Terrors in the night,

They haunt me without sound.

I run to him in my fright,

Calm as his arms wrap ‘round

Me.

Holding

Me

Tight,

For a night.

(GreenMagic)

Tears.

They fall from her eyes,

Liquid sorrow.

A whisper,

A soft touch.

And she’s here, in my arms.

Mine to hold, mine to love.

My brother, gone to worlds unknown,

Caused her tears.

What a fool, to hurt the one

I love so dearly.

~Wind-Maid~

He is planning something, I know.

Something horrible and wrong.

But I am powerless to stop him.

He pulls me close, and I forget all of that,

All which has troubled me.

Gone, with just a single touch.

He is bitter.

Hurt.

I want to know why,

So I can help him be better.

He does not want to be better.

(GreenMagic)

I do not feel the darkness inside of me

Until I tell her

Of who I really am.

When she turns to me in shock,

I feel the anger

Twist in my mind,

Raging at the world.

It frightens me.

I pull her into my arms,

Hoping to dispel the night

For a few more hours.

~Wind-Maid~

I am loathe to leave him,

As broken as he is.

Broken by the truth.

But I do.

I leave.

To rescue my friend,

One lost so far away,

Out of reach.

I say goodbye,

A last kiss lingering on my lips.

(GreenMagic)

She leaves with the warrior-maid,

Leaving me to my task:

Destroy the town.

Stop the fools.

Teach them I can rule.

I do not know

What pain this will be

Until it’s too late.

~Wind-Maid~

Fire, fire.....

Burning on my flesh.

A roaring flame,

Singing all of me.

I scream till my throat is numb

And I have to breathe,

I scream till I taste blood.

Screaming for a saviour.

I call on the winds,

But they only fan the flames

That lick my skin,

Turning me into a living bonfire.

I hear the cries of my companions,

The horror pouring from them as they call my name.

I am beyond rescue.

I cease my screams,

Give in to the hungry fire.

I love you, my Prince.

(GreenMagic)

She is gone.

How can she be gone?

She was my light,

My love.

My joy.

My Queen.

It’s his fault.

All his.

No more of this.

NO MORE!
