The Immotal
Hair.
Silver...gold... who really knows
Skin.
White...pale... washed clear by hail
Eyes.
Blue...green... somewhere between
Lips.
Ruby...blush... always plush
Spindle limbs... deceptive strength
Pearly teeth... vicious bite
Transparent... ghost and spirit
Beauty...hidden decay
Drifting in the sea..
Caught in the net...
One apart...
Yet a part...
Humanity lost...
