There! Do you see the magnificent serpent dancing? |
Look at its iridescent scales and angelic wings. It flies. |
There, look at it now, |
with the two children riding upon it- |
as innocent as the clouds they're flying through. |
Now they're growing up. |
The boy is wielding a sword. |
He's older than the girl. |
He yells and charges, sword raised. |
He's saving the girl. |
Now the girl too has grown. |
She's wielding a sword. |
The boy is cornered, he may not be able to escape. |
But here comes the girl, tearing out of the sky, |
sword outset, a downward thrust- |
she's saving him. |
Not long has passed. |
The boy's arms are around her waist, |
her arms are around his neck,- |
They kiss. |
Hearts melt. |
"I love you" he says. |
"I love you too," she says. |
Souls melt. |
The souls cross, |
They're married. |
I love you. |
4/10/03 on Katie. The last stanza could use some work. I couldn't remember what the last stanza was supposed to be when I got a chance to write it down. The line after that could use some work too. Murk.
