Blue Moon Nymph

Eyes wandering through the dense trees

 Picking up every small movement

He searched endlessly for her

 That deliciously rare nymph of the woods

 

 She's very shy, so they say

Only showing her porcelain face

Once in a blue moon

When she dances, graceful and lithe

 In the iridescent, white light

 

He saw her once before

(Whilst wandering lost in the woods)

 Shrouded in mystery

 White dress flying about her long legs

 As she twirled and spun for him

 

 When their gazes met, time stopped

 Blue eyes large and cautious like a child

 She glided toward him timidly

Until not an inch separated them

 

Wistfully laying a small hand upon his cheek

She felt the cold sweat there

A quiet giggle bubbled from her pink lips like bell chimes

Driving the man absolutely wild

 

Her beauty was other worldly

Perhaps she was just a dream

A sweet, enticing dream

That would make any man

Willingly give up reality

 

Taking hold of her waist tenderly

He led her to a tree

Kissing her shoulders, her neck

 Loving the way she moved and gasped

 

 Her soft lips tasted like sugar

A mouth-watering, exotic elixir

 Making him shudder in sheer ecstasy

Tangling his hands in her dark, luscious mane

 

The warmth of her pale body

Kept him entranced like a siren's call

Her nimble fingers tickled his neck

Invoking a low, arousing moan

 

Grabbing the hem of her dress, he growled

Wanting her, needing her, craving her like a drug

But when the silk slipped over her head,

She had faded away

 

Replaced by the orange light

Of an unwelcome sunrise

Leaving him on his knees

Crying with a hopeless longing

For that girl, now but a memory

 

Tonight, he wanders alone

Same as every night, searching

Searching for that beautiful nymph

Who filled all his fantasies

 

Hours passed as he moved in circles

The sun would be up soon,

And with it, his chances of finding her would disappear

 Heart sinking, the man started home

 

 As he walked, head hung and shoulders slumped

A giggle carried by the breeze flew to his ear

His head snapped up, pulse racing

Frantically, his feet carried him to the tree

 

Like a bird, her voice sang out to him

Leading him like a line on map

Until he saw the tree

With a pair of girls feet hanging off a branch

And blue eyes on the shadows, shining like stars

He had found her at last

Don't know if it was worth publishing...

In the 6th stanza the word is spelled "enticing". In the 8th stanza, the word is "ecstasy Also 'Luscious"' mane. The next stanza, I think the word you want is "invoking" not invoicing.
This feels very ethereal, great word choices to invoke the feeling.

Fantastic both in fantasy and in mythology, nymphs are the ultimate symbol of innocent, casual sexual pleasure. I love this poem and what you've done with the idea of the nymph. Very well written, although you spelled "enticing" wrong.

[Ahmad Cox]

Wow. Such an amazing poem. It is beautiful and surreal and magical at the same time

[InsanityWriter]

This is great. :) It's so fanciful and well written, it was like you put me in another world. ^_^ Excellent job!

[Lost in Wonderland]

Oh my gosh the fact you called this fanciful made my day haha ^.^
God bless

I have a fondness for creatures like nymphs.
It seemed to get a little lengthy, slow-moving in the middle, so you may want to look over it and either cut some stuff in the middle or add something different and a little more exciting.

The story itself kind of creeped me out. The man doesn't come across as a good man. The nymph... perhaps too childlike.

Great writing though and I did enjoy reading this.
