A man dressed in rags, enters your door.
"Got a story to tell us?"
"Perhaps just one more"
"Two figures travel together, but alone,
Each thinking something the other would never know...."
Sky blue eyes that show no emotion.
Steady hands that make no mistakes.
Chanting spells, fighting with swords.
You have my heart,
You are my world.
Ruby red eyes, shining red hair,
Your skin so soft and fair.
Fiery temper, loyal friend.
I'll protect you with everything I am,
Until the bitter end.
"Demons and darklords
Curses, cures, and fights.
Almost fighting for what's right.
Killing bandits, stealing their gold.
Traveling together, never growing old."
"Occasional glances,
A brush of the hand.
Never knowing where the other stands.
Never knowing,
Always wanting."
"Together they travel,
Never knowing the truth.
Never knowing if the feeling is real,
Scared to know if their feelings are real.
Each with insecurities: Hers, His."
Afraid to show you who I am.
To act my age, no cheating, no scam.
Afraid all you'll see is my childish looks,
As you study your magic,
And read over your books.
I'm afraid to let you get to close.
So I stomped on my feelings each time they arose.
This stony exterior is offensive to me,
An I am afraid it is all that you'll see.
So I'll keep to myself, and suffer silently.
"Together the two did a touch and go dance.
Each moved choreographed, as if in a trance.
Pushing, pulling.
Wanting resisting.
Uncertainty running high."
"Then one night on a whim
No regrets or second chance.
Their lips met briefly,
They each took a glance.
Seeing only love, relief and surprise,
The smiles softly with warmth in their sighs."
"Together for eternity.
With love on their side.
A happily ever after,
Now I'll end my rhyme.
But before I left I heard the two say 'It's about time.'"
Finished with his tale,
You ask him for more.
"That...Is a secret!" He says,
And leaves through the door.
