AND LOVE IS JUST A CAMOUFLAGE
- - - - - - for what resembles rage again - - - - - -

It seems to me I've been around forever. Of course, forever is relative, but the fact remains that I have walked the earth as long as the earth has been around. Sure, other things intrinsically came before me: fire and air, for example. Despite what those others have seen, I saw the first drops of rain fall from a black-grey sky. I saw the first seedling sprout from a newly moistened, rich earth. I saw animals take shape beneath the winds of whatever created us all. I have seen more life forms than I care to remember die. When I was yet a young creature, though I looked much the same, I learned to use the powers i had been born with. If you can call it birth. It didn't take long for me to realize that the other beings were not as gifted as I. And that they were mortal. At first I scorned their presence, preferring to immerse myself within the tangled, dark groves and blindingly glaring deserts no foot had ever tread before,existing merely as the personification of all around me. Glorious. At least, thats what it seemed. Yet over the years a growing desolation bean to infringe upon my soul. A yearning for company, for a voice besides my own, for the warm touch of a woman, stabbed away at the walls that had been built up for so long. One night, surrounded only by the shifting sand and rocky out crops of a nameless desert my decision solidified. I would seek out company. At first I sought only the company of the three other elements, so like me, and the four season that had sprung forth with that very first seedling. Alas, they were scattered across the four directions, each preferring their own abodes, and while I adored each and every landscape of this round earth, they were far more discriminatory.

With a dire sense of forbidding I lowered myself to the level of those that died so often. Slowly I delved beneath the surface of their culture, finding them absolutely delightful. Their eccentricities, virtues, and flaws enchanted me, causing me to forget my previous prejudices. Almost immediately I found myself enjoying the touch of a woman, much as I had yearned that night long ago in the desert. More like women, actually. Although I felt some small twinges of guilt at their heart broken faces I consoled myself. After all, what was the duty of the earth except to fertilize? It was every where you looked, no way to escape it. With out the earth there would be no crops, no forests, no flowers. Dirt, unromantic as it may seem, is the womb of the universe. So I tore my way through those maids one after another, each displaying a different trait I loved dearly. Until I got bored. Until the day I wasn't bored anymore. This girl enchanted me. A human, a rarity, traveling from the human world. Her hair the color of oak leaves in the fall, her dancing hazel eyes, her pale skin liberally speckled with freckles. Not only was she more beautiful than the summer morning, she was more fiery than fire itself, more stubborn than even granite. No, a diamond. Yes, that was her perfectly! Elegant, hard, beautiful, and sparkly. I admit it, I fell in love. My heart fluttered like a hummingbird's wings with every single smile that she shot my way. I wooed the girl, convinced her to stay here with me, to live in a cottage in the woods and marry me. She said yes. Who wouldn't? Before others I stood tall and proud, but she had me wrapped around her little finger.

Year after year went by, and was idyllic. Not perfect, perhaps, but even our arguments filled me with over whelming joy. My darling love bore me children, and they soon grew up and children of their own. But the years wore on. Year after year after year. I grew no older, no lines formed a the corner of my eyes and hair did not turn grey. But Aly, my love, my heart, was not so lucky. Her hair turned white, laugh lines formed on her face, and her body grew weathered. I did not abandon her, not after we had been through so much, not when my heart still beat only for her smile. In what felt like an unfairly short amount of time to me, my Aly was gone. I sobbed at her funeral as my sons lowered her into the ground. It wasn't for many days later that I had a thought, a horrible thought. I looked at my children, at my grandchildren, and noticed that some of them looked older than I. Despite the dread that lived in my heart, I stayed, I watched them all die. All that I had left of my Aly lay dead in the ground, their own children so far removed they hardly knew who I was. After that I left, unable to bear the memories of my family that had once lived and laughed so gleefully.

Once again I secreted myself from the world, trying only to forget the memories of my life. Humans were so short lived, so fleeting. They stayed so briefly on this earth I could not bear to speak to them. In a way they were like the animals around them, but at least the animals were uncaring about the fact that they would die. Mortals, though, when presented with the possibility of immortality were far to jealous. They wanted to live. For decades I pondered and wandered, wandered and pondered. But once again, like some cycle from Hell, I felt a desire to knew the company of others, worse for the knowing of what I was missing. So i returned to the real world, though slightly distanced from the comforts of close friends. I would not see those I loved die again. The only true joy I allowed myself was the ability to tend to plants. Disguising myself as a gardener I traveled, always avoiding that once place in the forest where the ruins of a cottage lay covered in vines. Where a simple headstone read ALY THORNE. Never again would my feet mar that earth.

- - - - - - so if you love me let me go - - - - - -
AND RUN AWAY BEFORE I KNOW
- - - - - - my heart is just too dark to care - - - - - -
