"Pixie´s Touch" by Aubra Penner

SF&F Picture 1 out of 7 by Aubra Penner

This is another 'freebie' I wrote for someone out there... I still hold copyright to these, though! The main character turned out sort of psycho, but oh well.

A pixie lights on my finger

And stares into my eyes.

Dimming her luminance to linger,

She slips, and falls, and cries-

Oh! The temptation to see that spark go out!

Oh! The urge to laugh, to shout

With mirth, and cage her with a spell

To hold her, keep her- pixie's hell,

But my pleasure! A tiny spark

That flew above the illustrious Ark

And might fly for ages yet-

Mine, mine now, were I not to let

Her free, to the sky, that she toppled from to swoon,

But, instead, I dress her wound and watch her drift away- away!

And wonder, if I'd made her stay,

What I'd have dreamed of in the night.

Be that what it may, I dream... of that flight.

15 Jun 2004	Anonymous	Loading... This is nice, but I don't understand the third and fourth lines 'dimming her luminance to linger?', and why does she slip and fall? Could you explain that bit? Aubra Penner replies: "I pictured the pixie's light fading a bit as she rested, like a butterfly's wings closing or a woman settling her skirts. And, the slip was just one of those things that happen, an unfortunate accident that caused the person telling the story to pause and think evil thoughts."
