@the Elf Poem by Jordan Legaspi

the elf


Magical creature with ageless youthful beauty
in the forests, in the undergrounds, in caves, and in springs' contoured
and revered as nature's dweller and god of fertility
whose will is mysterious to warrant nature's becoming and to forge;

Immortal is given unto the rare seemingly man's appearance
yet obscure tales of you, at times devious and potent to harm,
Eternal vanity unto you is nature’s grace, but to mortals’ blesses utterance
for friendship, prosperity and peace -the man's conjoined charm;

The conjugation of two different worlds
in which folks and alike believes in mystic-ominous spirit
the horizon of passages, like of those in ancient and old days' stories
in which creatures and beast alike roam: stride and glide -the flight;

Elf -the forcible master-craftier of spell before time
the ageless intelligence, the highest intrusive of mysteries and crime.



Note:
The “the elf” is one of the characters of the author’s “brotherhood's circle”- the poetry in motion: the angel; the warlock; the jester; the poet; the philosopher; the king; the knight; the hermit; the scientist; the priest; the vampire and the alien.
