My Mythical Creature
Being seen as an outsider, or simply not being seen at all.
Being of myth, you must be real
I know you are there, I know you exist
Can't detect nor touch but I indeed feel
That should be enough, to say the least
No one has noticed this mythical creature
But I do I stand by my beliefs... I simply just do...
This creature being unknown to matured texts or ancient scriptures
Allow me to document, I'll keep her true
A magnificent neck that morphs into a head
Much like a halo, wearing a luminescent crown
Azurite for eyes like several have said
A golden mane grandly cascading down
Almond-shaped face, with cheeks insignificantly scaled
In the center were dimple-like nostrils
From its mouth, a noise; demure and frail
Speaks in verses from a time-frozen still
Within the cage right beneath its chest
I know that calmly there lay beating
A vast, magnanimous heart does gently rest
Embedded deep within a physique so charming
Only no one notices
Its spine so whole as if forged by a divine mould
Limbs are long, but with a gait so light
Non-terrestrial wings that into nothing they fold
Stretched around its softened skin so pearly white
That is all I have to offer
Matched the words to my mind's delighting appearance
No one has seen it yet; thus ensured that they cannot disfigure
In my head will forever be drawn the image
Creature of myth... Please be real
I am the unfamiliar
The unknown
The stranger in a large crowd
No one sees me
It's not for the others, you don't unveil
Maybe it's only for me to understand.
