Faery Tail

You dared
an intimate stare, when I,
behind your acorn eyes,
saw smoldering
an oaken lust.

We played
a myriad games, the last
left silvered lips and loins
with smatterings
of pixie-dust

that charms
my beguiled heart, still rapt,
and sets a misty mind
to wondering
on life's weird thrusts.
