Like a deck of fifty two
dealt haphazardly across
a felt table, you anted
your chips and caused
me to fold under your
skilled hand, shuffling
the Queen of Hearts
against the King of Spades
you fooled me into
believing I had the upper hand
when all I had was the Joker.

Contentment fills her restless mind
Slowly she steps, without care
Unafraid of the man who is leading her blind
Neptune awaits for her there
She colors his realm with a gentle caress
As he heaves a watery sigh
Her exquisiteness he must now possess
Underneath his liquid sky
Salacia, beautiful queen, sublime
He has fallen for her ruse
Quenched forever in perfect rhyme
She is one with her god, his muse

She, endless beauty, the forest’s queen
A blend of purity, a vision so serene
Butterflies dance, and flowers bloom
She is the essence of nature’s perfume
Fragrant and fair, she sits and she waits
As subtle winds blow, and the air creates
A whisper, to only her ears, does it speak
For she is the paragon of magic and mystique

The humidity was stifling
Her hair was quite the mess
Sweat dripped from her lashes
Down her cheek, onto her dress
She tried her best to hide it
This was not her usual style
Always cool and collected
She was becoming more hostile
The doorman glanced, curiously
After all, she wasn’t at her best
“You look very lovely today.”
“Surely, sir, you must jest
I’m saturated, like a sponge
Your pleasantries are inane
I’m soaked right through, can’t you see?
From standing in the rain!”
A sky as blue as the lady’s eyes
Not a single cloud could be seen
But, he opened up his umbrella
After all, she was the Queen

Mystic powers, in her hands
Elfin magic, carefully planned
A talisman of water, blue
That hides the secrets, no one knew
Of how she came to be an elf
Different from her mortal self
They called her queen, with scepter tall
She ruled their world, the big and small
Never to learn that their precious queen
Knew her victory had been foreseen
