*This is the first of my Immortal Series poems...hope you like it:


Celestial spirit of the night
Gliding into her lover’s embrace
A moment stolen, a sweet touch
Then gone without a trace

Sweet smile of love she offers him
Her visage too beautiful to bear
But he cannot deny her
He longs to have her there

Tender words disarm him
As he smiles at her in delight
This ethereal lover seeking
Fulfillment from the night

She amazes him with her vigor
Her lust has no earthly restraint
She saps his very mortality
Until he realizes it’s too late

The last night she seeks him out
She tells him of her wicked plan
She needed to produce a child
From the seed of an earthly man

Immortal was the name she used
Woman doomed to forever lust
Bound by a curse from ancient witch
Never to die and join the dust

She let him touch the belly
That held his unborn child
In a moment he saw her
Half human, an Immortal wild

In his mind’s eye, she appeared;
So breathlessly magnificent
Dark green eyes, flaming hair
Her form meant for man’s bedevilment

His woman child would live on
Forever, it has been decreed
And he a lowly mortal
Had provided the fertile seed

His lover turned to leave him
A smile of cunning in her eyes
He knew his death was required
For this mating compromise

The child, a girl, was born anon
As beautiful as had been foretold
And from the time of her birth
She upheld the Immortal code

Thank you all for you kind comments. These 'immortal' poems seem to write themselves. I am think I should send one to Boris Vallejo and ask if he wants to collaborate!

This concept is so similar to some prose work I have going. I love the style here. Your language is timeless.

*sigh* Elegant, eloquent, powerful, beautiful. Like an Immortal herself, ah suppose.

She said burn ... together.
