The Golden Elixir Poem by Beach Girl

The Golden Elixir

Rating: 4.0


The she creature rose

From depths of the darkness

And smoothly swam

To the brambled banks

There in the moonlight

The gold bottle beckoned

And glistening with water

She stepped from the lake



Her tawny hand, grasped

The round amber bottle

And bowing her head

Inhaled the mixture

Citrus and spices

Danced in the darkness

And tears from the trees

Escaped the elixir



The amber spoke

Of tales from the past

And balsam of twigs

Poured out her heart

The nymph from the lake

Danced in the darkness

This golden elixir

Would ne're from her part
