This is a poem about a nature nymph who was badly treated by her human lover. She bargained with the gods for the power to destroy him. A Nymph's Revenge by Lyle Dagnen
She stands alone on a jagged rock, high up on the cliff, The lightening strikes and the thunder rolls, She draws power from the storm, her eyes glint hatred, The words spew forth, she's turning his heart to stone. She loved him once, with a pure, true soul, The skies were blue and the grass was green, She opened her heart and poured forth her love, The man took it and crushed it under his heel.
Wood Nymph by Evgeny Freeone
She vowed she'd give her sweet soul for just an hour, The power to curse him and destroy him was her request, She now stands holding her desire, the power to destroy, The man is destroyed and she laughs with glee. Some fools think love is a tender thing, to be enjoyed, Some fools take love and destroy it, and never understand, Some one will not stand the pain that a faulty heart delivers, She stands for the hour of bartered power, she destroys him. Is it worth it you might ask yourself, all warm and safe below, To give up your soul just to seek out revenge Just ask her, she now sits alone, looking at his stone cold face. She wears a smile like the sun's new day, her sacrifice a joy. -91-
