I AM THE ONE WHO SPEAKS TO YOU IN SILENCE PT. 2

The journey is far on the back of a tiny blue elephant, evident, in thinking, she wonders throughout her dopamine fueled mind, how much water it will take to bath the elephant over time
have him smiling
laughing
enough to fill the moon, maybe it is all in the same ?

A sudden heaviness fogs over her
like thunder if you could be struck by it
she feels eyes
knowingly, if she is seen she will surly lose her kingdom but the want is growing deeper
she must find shelter
and construct her thoughts

She looks around in full circle on the flat land, comes back to, and travels back the way she came
needing comfortable shelter to collect her passion is the only way to secure her love discreetly
only for the eyes of the watcher so he may relay true love
secure the answers to the questions of uncertainty

She now rides her elephant into the setting sun knowing he has had a fair share of water this day
that he will not fail her
with a sound of bravery the elephant shouts acknowledgement through his mighty trunk
and at great speeds he begins running into the rising sun as golden as the flowing hair above him which is in plain sight of the watcher, who's eye drips with a single tear
vision unblurred, he snaps back and reminds Michael that his intent is clarity in the name of the kingdom. 

(Michael now knows that he can trust him?)

The questions swirl like the cool air that brushes across her satin skin, searching for answers in the moonlight, sitting on cushions of fine silk while the shadows from her emerald green garden dance around her, she is lost in thought
--> Will the people of my kingdom grant me such love?
--> Can such a plentiful and proud people, understand I am in love with one of them, that goes beyond the kingdom's protection?

She runs her hand across ten thousand eye lit stars, with eyes reflecting again in each one of them
the song sings
--> Beyond my duties as it's guardian?

Deep, Compulsive thought.

Entering her quarters she begins to ready herself for her candle lit bath 
It is what she needs 
Warm water with a gentle soap to smooth her over.  To bring out her colour 
Nestled into place, relaxing her muscles, her heart knows that through his watcher Michael will now have the same shadows of question dancing around him under these 10 thousand eye lit stars,
rattling his heart
making him guess
making him feel the unimaginable
something his mind has never looked for
never thought, never seen, thinking could this ever be?

Shuttered by the anxiety of having him not know the certainty of her sincerity
tomorrow she must carry out her plan quickly
before he convinces himself to kill a lying bird because nothing of this could ever be real

She summons her caretaker and with her flawless flesh before him,
a shape of amazement that holds anyone by a thread,
Catina instructs to have her elephant readied for the morning alongside 1000 soldiers of the kingdom for the possibility of having the people's curiosity stand in her way before she is able to explain the truth that lies deep beneath her chest,
at her center,
an extreme reticent,
keeping in mind any attempt in tomorrow
