Erised

She has only read of the Mirror
In dusty tomes of lost knowledge
To illuminate her
Gilt gold heart's desire
He, green eyed, spoke of
Its power, enthralling captivation
He, red haired, spoke of
Its empty glory, deceiving promise
Both in voices of wispy longing
A man's heart, she knows
Wants precisely what is worst
But she, who is no man
Will see different and
She asks herself, truly
What is your heart’s desire?

The mirror stands before her, gleaming
Beckoning torchlight dancing across silver
A silent sigh, she lifts her eyes
A soft gasp, she sees
That what she should not want
Dark eyed he regards her
Moonlight drifting across pale skin
His long arms encircle her
His hot breath against her ear, neck
What is your heart's desire?

He has never gazed upon
That silvered pane
He knew his heart's desire
Once, long ago, that dream
Was shattered, and
To look into that mirror
See what he would be denied
Would be more than he could bear
He, who was once led,
Astray into temptation
Yields not to its siren's call

Then he sees her
Doe eyed, porcelain skinned
In the moonlight, slipping
Before the mirror
He gives into the yearning
One chance ventured
Everything to gain
On silent feet, he moves
To stand behind her,
Breathe her deep to savor
He wraps himself around her when
She gasps a soft sound of joy as
He whispers in her ear
What is your heart's desire?



Apparently, I’m in a poetry kick. I’m sure it will pass soon…
