• Moonlit shore.
    Waves gently lapping at the rocks.
    Soft breeze on my face,
    his warm arms around my waist.
    "I'm yours forever." I whisper.
    He gently kisses my lips.
    "Prove it." he breathes.
    I sigh "Okay, hold out your wrist."
    he responds "Why?" as he looks at his creamy pale skin
    I put mine next to his.
    Delicate swirls rest on our skin.
    Like two puzzle pieces,
    perfectly interlocking.
    "Do you trust me?"
    "Yes" he whispers.
    I let go of him, and step back.
    I spread my wings,
    silver in the moonlight.
    "I'm sorry, I-"
    He's holding back tears.
    "It's been so long, I thought I was alone."
    Familiar shadows unfold from his back
    black as a raven's wing.
    Tears of joy streaming down our faces.
    "I proved I'm yours forever," I said.
    "And you are, my love." he laughed.
