Notes: I've been writing a lot of poetry lately. Apparently, it's bleeding over into my prose.

She slept soundly, and the moonlight turned her fair skin silver. He touched her bare arm, and his own skin was darker steel, stronger than the pliable silver. He knew looks were deceiving, because she may have been pliable, but she was not weak.

He lay at her side and watched her sleep in the moonlight, watched her beautiful face, her beautiful lips parted, her beautiful eyelashes fanned across her silvery cheeks. He touched her silver skin, felt the velvet softness of it, remembered how it felt pressed against every inch of his steel skin. He touched her and grew hard as steel with the memory, his senses and memory blurring the line between past and present.

His soft moan turned to gold dust in the moonlight, and the dust settled over her silver skin. She stirred, lashes fluttering open, and her dusky silver lips curved up in a smile. She moved against him like quicksilver, and their bodies became molten metal, silver and steel melded together until they were no longer silver and steel. They were flesh and blood, forged to fit perfectly, like a sword in its sheath.
