in a rough straw hut she lives a creature of spun silk and velvet eye though a heart of stone humming an ancient chant 'neath her breath she prepares her spells (hair of bat, eye of newt) for traveller unaware feet silent upon hard packed floor busy on her task she stops but a moment to stroke her dark companion "Simon" he stretches and purrs green eyes opening wide intelligence there in feline gaze he oozes an eon of antiquity soon a knock echoes through a time worn hut and with a careless wave it becomes a cozy room the mistress, a beautiful ornament the cat a sweet gentle kitten as she bid "enter" he approaches slowly wary like a lion seeing no harm there-in, he asks for sustenance and rest she asks but a small sum his name upon a faded wrinkled parchment to be written there in deep red ink eagerly he signs, for something in her smile draws him in something in her gaze captures his heart eyes never wavering from hers as she gives him food and drink and soon with her timeless smile and fathomless eyes he is lost to her spell lost to her enchantments he's sold his soul to her for a cup of grog and a bowl of soup while he sleeps the sleep of the damned she counts up another day's coup and smiles a knowing smile Master will be happy for certain for on this day's hunt she caught a handsome Knight to be bound for all eternity as a slave to him who rules the darkness to do his bid, and satisfy her thirst for revenge and death upon this paltry soil ------------------ "I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than to be crowded on a velvet cushion." .....Henry David Thoreau |

Awesome work!!!! Ah, the enchantress...we women always get the best of those unsuspecting knights, eh?  ------------------ *Krista Knutson* I see the world through the loving eyes of my heart, and suffer the pain of unfulfilled visions. -- Daniel L. Miller |

Hope you will grant us more where this came from. ------------------ Michael Anderson I could not love except where Death Was mingling his with Beauty's breath - Or Hymen, Time, and Destiny Were stalking between her and me.
