Love poem. A moon elf loves a sea elf. I was bored, so . . . enter Thesaurus.
Story Behind It: A moon elf, lonely and sad, goes on a ship to reach Evermeet, running from his fears. On the way, he falls overboard, and is rescued by a beautiful sea elf. They fall in love, yadda yadda yadda, and go back to land.
I hope you like.
Love
I had reached but never touched
I had looked but never seen
I had listened but never heard
What might or might not have been.
I had breathed but never tasted
I had breathed but never smelled
I had looked out at the land and sea
But never dreamed that they could meld.
I had reached but never touched
Until your fingers touched my hand
And so swiftly did my breath fly away
As you pulled me to that blessed land.
I had looked but never seen
Until you looked into my eyes
And the flitting shadows of my mind
Were all exposed as empty lies.
I had listened but never heard
Until I heard your singing voice
And all the terrors of my life
Were nothing compared to that impending choice.
I was the son of the earthly land
Among the honorable with the knaves
But you were the daughter of the darkened sea
She who danced and sang beneath the waves.
What might the gods have thought
Looking down from so far above
When I gazed into your sparkling eyes
And knew the fierce joy of love.
I had breathed but never tasted
Until I tasted your sweet lips
And you looked into my eyes
And I warmed at the touch of your fingertips.
I had breathed but never smelled
Until your breath rolled over my tongue
And all the dreams in the world
Were nothing compared to the song you sung.
I was halved, I was missing
Until you smiled before my sight
And I knew the truth of all
That in the dark, love is its own light.
And the dark that I knew I faced anew
I knew I could face it with you-
With you always there beside me
To love me and to hold me and to hide me
Water from dust, and sea from air . . .
If you ever need me, I'll be there.
