forest

[cogs]

a high siren's song floats,
as the green frog and lilly,
over the wise lady
who gleams light blue
beneath the lake,
and is caught in the deep flapping wings
of a glimmering dragon,
who flees a sulfurous scent
that puffs into the air;
and surging above the
vertical gloom shadows,
he shrinks into the amber ceiling,
far over the witches' cave,
where inside, a gentle ogre
borrows from an ageless danger
of forgotten womanhood,
a secret spell of love.
