\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

She stares into a pool reflecting midnight stars<\/strong>
\nA scrying glass of mystic mystery<\/strong>
\nA portal to dimensions where the brave may pass<\/strong>
\nWithout a password or a golden key.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The shimmer of green oceans in the mind’s third eye<\/strong>
\nReflects a myriad of distant lands<\/strong>
\nA chalice raised; a sip that brings the lips to sigh<\/strong>
\nWingbeating spirit hears and understands.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The trees are hung with lanterns giving amber light<\/strong>
\nThe sky’s festooned with stars in veils of cloud<\/strong>
\nReflecting in her eyes. In decadent delight<\/strong>
\nShe takes another sip and sighs aloud.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The light green potion lingers lightly on her tongue<\/strong>
\nUnfolding tastes of mint and aniseed<\/strong>
\nPromising deeper pleasure while the night is young<\/strong>
\nWhere evening moths and fairies stop to feed.<\/strong><\/p>\n
