The Battle of Charms

Lightning streaks across the torn skies
Illuminating a figure
Standing -
Leaning!
Leaning against the edge of my lair.

A soft hissss resounds throught the cave:
Her hair -
The snakes! -
Hissing at me:
Hissing at me, in my domain.

The image wavers,
now a woman.
Blonde hair trails down her back
Her lips close in a slight smile.

But her eyes -
Her eyes!  Deep pools of sea blue!
Aqua and gold blazing from her pupil.
Her eyes are the same:
The pupil, so black and cold.
Stone eyes.

I look away.

Cast away your false diguise!
I breath.
And as I breath
the lightning flashes -
Flashes!
Illuminating the figure
Standing -
Leaning!
Leaning against the edge of my lair.

The snakes -
Her snakes! -
Hissing
Hissing at me, in my domain.

And she pleads,
her voice one of soft bells
But the snakes -
Her snakes! -
Still hiss.

And her eyes -
Her eyes!  Deep pools of sea blue!
Aqua and gold blazing from her pupil.
The pupil, so black and cold.
Her eyes are the same:
Stone eyes.

I look away.



And my powers of water sweep over the lip of my cave
And now the figure -
Medusa!
The figure resides in the sea,
Protected by the water -
Imprisoned by the water -
Hidden by the water.

And her eyes -
Her eyes!  Deep pools of sea blue!
Aqua and gold blazing from her pupil.
The pupil, so black and cold.
Her eyes are the same:
Stone eyes.
