FAERIE ENCHANMENT
It was that time of year
again.
The scent was what gave
it away. When the blossoms on the apple tree take on a mauve tint, you know she
is here.
I don’t know her name and
she won’t tell me. They will never tell you that but I try every time.
She almost told me once
but I think she was only playing with me for her amusement.
Today however, I got a
surprise. It wasn’t her.
It was one of those days
when the air was full of sweet spring perfume and the blossoms were so intense
with their perfume.
The day was full of
enchantment and I let myself get lost in it.
When I opened my eyes
after inhaling the intoxicating air, my eyes saw him.
My whole body froze. His
white hair fell to his shoulders and without even touching, I knew his hair was
as silky soft as the blossoms around him.
There were streaks of
mauve throughout his hair and his even though his eyes were feral, they were
the most beautiful light mauve.
It was like he came from
the tree.
His skin was alabaster
white-perfect. His lips were the softest pink. He gave me a small smile.
I couldn’t do anything as
he bravely came closer to me. I held my breath.
He walked around me
without making a sound. All I could hear was the birds singing.
Then he was directly in
front of me looking down at me. My heart raced madly.
He looked up and so did
I. All I could see was a froth of white mauve blossoms.
Some petals floated down
landing in his hair.
He plucked a few and put
them in my hair. I could not feel his touch.
Then he leaned over to my
ear. His cheek almost touched mine.
A whisper that sounded like it was far away
echoed in my ear.
I gasped and he was gone
My hand went up to my
head and all that was there was twigs entangled in strands of my hair and a few
of the blossoms that had fell.
I looked all around and
there was no sign of him. Had I dreamed him?
His far away words now
came to me.
