No Title-- any suggestions?)
By night and by day
She
dreams of another way
He doesn't look centuries old
Beautiful,
silver, white and pale gold
Light as air, air like
light
Warmer than ice that does not cool his sight
Hair
that flows, ears that point
Eyes spark, skin anoints
She
feels his thin bones, his airiness
And she feels lumpy,
graceless
And the creature she draws to at night
They
say is the cause of the blight
Tall, thick, a lump of
stone
Believes he is meant to be ever alone
She places her
hand on a rough chapped arm
He, surprised at her lack of
alarm
Black and green and sickening grey
Sees the human as
the truly fey
Yet by him she feels just about right
Not too
heavy nor too light
Both know she is theirs, both know they
love true
Both know that her choice is altered by few
Is
the light elf-fairy the one for her love?
Or the ogre who is her
glove?
A world of grace and beauty and gold
Or the world of
ugly and growing old.
She knows where she belongs
Knows
which world just feels wrong
She knows the world where she is
less
Is detrimental to her happiness.
The ugliest being
looks up, surprised
To see darkness flowing love from her eyes.
