He sits up to tell her tales,<br> |
|||
Of exploits brave and wrongs set right.<br> |
|||
He brushes back her silken hair,<br> |
|||
And kisses her to sleep each night.<br><br> |
|||
The silent forest breathes his name,<br> |
|||
It's trees stretch up to meet his eye,<br> |
|||
It's birds grow quiet when he walks-<br> |
|||
To hear the tune his footsteps sigh.<br><br> |
|||
She holds tight to both his hands,<br> |
|||
When doubt creeps in and tests his soul.<br> |
|||
She is there to cheer him on<br> |
|||
And push him, onward, toward his goal.<br><br> |
|||
Her hips sway gently as she moves,<br> |
|||
Her laugh brings joy to all she meets,<br> |
|||
When by chance, she coyly smiles,<br> |
|||
Roses envy her blushing cheeks. <br><br> |
|||
He lifts her sorrow- feels her pain-<br><br> |
|||
His arms relieve all emptiness.<br> |
|||
His lips bring her to sweet release,<br> |
|||
With naught but just a simple kiss.<br><br> |
|||
The wind is still, the clouds abate,<br> |
|||
The world itself on axis slows,<br> |
|||
Just to catch a tiny word-<br> |
|||
That from his lips perchance may flow.<br><br> |
|||
When in the dusk, proud Xibar sets,<br> |
|||
And Katamba rises in the sky,<br> |
|||
It is her magic bids them move<br> |
|||
(And the twinkle set within her eyes.)<br><br> |
|||
She knows the man behind the myth,<br> |
|||
Accepts as due his well-earned fame.<br> |
|||
She is there to soothe his brow,<br> |
|||
And tend his wounds from battle's flames.<br><br> |
|||
He looks with longing in his eye,<br> |
|||
And smiles at her with mischief great.<br> |
|||
He steals a kiss with quiet stealth,<br> |
|||
And snuggles closely when it's late.<br><br> |
|||
O'er ages plenty, men have come,<br> |
|||
With talent, skill and handsomeness,<br> |
|||
But he stands out among them all-<br> |
|||
His strength reigned in by gentleness.<br><br> |
|||
She lays the path that he will walk<br> |
|||
She sees the boy inside the man.<br> |
|||
She can bring to HIM the joy,<br> |
|||
She sees him bring to all he can.<br><br> |
|||
Her kindness- known both far and wide<br> |
|||
Her voice like birds within the woods,<br> |
|||
Her eyes like pools of shimmering light,<br> |
|||
She embodies all that that counts as good.<br><br> |
|||
He comes home to sweep her up,<br> |
|||
In arms that missed her smile and form,<br> |
|||
He gazes softly in her eyes,<br> |
|||
And kisses her with feelings warm.<br><br> |
|||
His bow is swift, his arrows true,<br> |
|||
His chivalry is quite renowned.<br> |
|||
His eye for beauty quite refined,<br> |
|||
When faced with fools-patience abounds. <br><br> |
|||
She gives him strength when he is weak-<br> |
|||
When foes attack from ev'ry side.<br> |
|||
It's her small hand that brushes back,<br> |
|||
The tears he cannot keep inside.<br><br> |
|||
Her flawless skin is smooth and bright,<br> |
|||
With inner beauty shining through,<br> |
|||
That brings to her a glow unmatched,<br> |
|||
By other ladies' normal hues.<br><br> |
|||
She places all her trust in him,<br> |
|||
His trust in her- a treasure's worth.<br> |
|||
Her smile lights up his daily life-<br> |
|||
He fills her life with gentle mirth.<br><br> |
|||
They walk together in the sun,<br> |
|||
Through rain, strong wind, and blizzard cold.<br> |
|||
They gaze into each other's eyes,<br> |
|||
And to each other, tightly hold.<br><br> |
|||
The Paragon, and She, his love,<br> |
|||
Will forever happy be,<br> |
|||
And may their joy bless you and yours,<br> |
|||
And all their happiness inspire thee. |

Yavash sets as I awaken I ponder countless steps we took, On this ledge, I recall the adventures Off this ledge, you want to show me Off this ledge, the island beckons, On this ledge, we sit and look out I wonder as I share with you, Then you look at me in silence On this ledge, your words- pure magic- And in my eyes, you see the wonder |

The face I know as well as my own stays etched in my memories and dreams, I remember the day you left me, your voice telling me the call had come I have waited so many seasons for you to return back home to me.

Original Stories
Toy Solider |
Written for Tavern Troupe story challenge 1/10/2021) For me, Leth was simply a blur barely acknowledged while running to ferry or gondola. However, finding myself in no particular hurry one day, I decided to take time to look around. A formidable line of deobar and alder trees line either side of the Alder Bower Gate. Passing through these towering protectors of the town’s homes and shops, I began to discover what many already knew: Leth Deriel, with its quaint charm, is actually a lovely place. This Elven village I'd been running through, I saw with different eyes. |
