The Wizard

He calls me his "Lion-faced Goddess." We sit under the Tree Of Life & swim in the River Of Knowledge. He says, "Some day you will be my wife." I save him from drowning. His anger floods my eyes with tears. He was willing to die, to learn the river's secrets. If he dies, I die. It's been like that for years. We have been lover's for centuries. He is the shore. I am the sea. The moon controls our destiny. The Wizard has cast a spell on me. His eyes summon the flame in my heart. Melting icy walls to reveal passion. He says, "Your my muse & we'll never part." I dread the coming of the sun. It signals that it is time to go. My soul must return to its shell. I'll wake up alone again...I know.
