Warmth

by Pergalis Palix

An Imperial poem

---

From Cyrodiil I hail / the Imperial heart
But my heart longs for one / who calls the east her home
Through forest and valley / lush wood and blue river
To the hard land of ash / I would go to see her
The softest voice to call / my name with tender lips

Trace the curves of her form / outline of her beauty
To memorize the shape / a figure so lovely
The arches of her feet / the arch of an eyebrow
Double arches heaving / rise and fall of her chest
Face and flank the roundness / of wonderous full cheeks

In lingering darkness / I would inhale slowly
Almost I could taste it / wine we had shared again
And deeper, more primal / the sweat dried on her skin
Perfumes enticing still / sweetly smelling her hair
Other scents undescrib'd / lower under the sheets

Half century she had / twice the years I had earn'd
And still so beautiful / I cannot stay away
Every journey a risk / a danger I must meet
Though I love its daughter / Morrowind loves me not
The dead are sacred here / and I a blasphemer

This land is not my home / but for her I must stay
Happiness forever / awaits in her embrace
And our passion calls me / and I cannot deny
Life and limb to see her / to touch her naked shape
Seems a fair trade to me / to one so full of love

But other smells and sights / had waited to greet me
Other forms next to hers / Alongside and atop
Thrust and grunt obscenely / and leave their sweat on her
Every journey a risk / because the heart is weak
And youthful ashen whores / will part their legs for all

Together next we were / and I offer'd embrace
Fingers wrapped lovingly / about her slender throat
She had no air to scream / her eyes began to dim
Then my hands loos'd themselves / and I watch'd her as old
Rise and fall of her chest / peaceful as if sleeping

A bruise grew at her neck / though blended with her skin
Gently I lay beside / and had her as before
So like a corpse she was / unconscious but still warm
Waiting for direction / needing animation
I shudder and finish / and wait in the darkness

Her eyes flutter open / a smile parts her blue lips
Her mouth gives shape to words / body push'd against me
"Always so exciting / my forbidden lover"
The smile turned savage / and she tasted my flesh
"I so enjoy our games / filthy Necromancer"
