Sylvan Mistress clad in green
Silver and verdant standing upon the sea
With eyes that immolate resistance
Supple toothsome lips
And thin teal hair under a proud vestal crown
The sapphire steppes converge upon her breast
As she lets me touch Her like a God would touch Her
Her skin preternaturally green. Eyes that stare
The strength of Her long athletic legs overpowering mine
Wooden fingernails perch into my arms leaving a sharp rasp
Her naked wrists branching from my shoulders
Our lucubration leaving Her ever powerful
And I bottled up in a jade glass jar
Resting upon Her thigh as She wanders the woodlands
Alone
My sweet plastered snowflake
You are not like the rain
Soaking my face on a bad day
You are but my failed misfortune
I have not won but I have no lost
Oh, how you fall freely in the copse
Your inclement touch — a fortune passed by
Your clipped wings making you fall in full swoop
Until you come crashing upon my soft crisp hands
Oh, you are not like the frost
Freezing my already broken skin
You are the one who deepens my cry song
Like the foreign, traveling bird
Or on the carpet, my butterfly
