Artistic Truth

CENTO Series episode 8

Showing feelings of love vastly grown.

Her heavy hips shifted and swayed where she seated,

Maeve said, “No, like this,”

Maeve reached a white hand, touching

"We fit together like a hand in a glove"

Though friends all tried to warn her

Her heart was stolen by the fae

From the rooftops merrily

Brushed aside and lost

In through her window he did dance

And oh, his beauty charmed her
