She is the darkness that glows in the night

A beautiful bird against the full moon light

Sisterly love, she admires, from afar

Elegance floats, while she stands, char

Ebon as midnight, only pale skin aglow

Standing in shadows, afraid to show

Frozen, she is quiet, still, like a stone

Hoping the others won’t see her alone

But sight of her they do, indeed, espy

They hiss and they trumpet, a loud outcry

A warning to the guards, in the castle keep

Who send her away, and she silently weeps

Disobeying Venus
He finds cause to bleed
Beautiful Psyche looks for love
He plants the sacred seed

Cupid finds delight
Keeping secrets from his quest
She obeys his commands
In hope, she will be blessed

When sisters prey upon her
Their jealousy prevails
Psyche grabs an arrow
On her lover, she assails

He escapes, her only fear
Flies away, and leaves her be
Seems Cupid’s betrayal of the gods
Was an act of conspiracy

Immortals have their way
In the magic that they carry
Human’s leave their mark
Upon their adversary

Emerald eyes
An elfin glow
Faeries called to task
Whispers of memories
Locked in her mind
Hidden, cloaked, masked

By forest wood
The tale unfolds
Magical, mystical glories
The sprites do tell
Of jealous hearts
Abound in untold stories

Jaded

Jaded, jealousy, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry

Emerald eyes
Searching
Until they find their mark

Open wide
Releasing
Their true color spark

Hatred spews
Loathing
Leading down into dark

No victory
Leaving
A heart, cold and stark
