Faery Lady
Oh what can ail you, faery lady?
With eyes as blue as the sea
Truly you are not alone,
As ravishing are thee
Your soul seems withered and callous
Your heart is surely dying
lying amongst the garden leaves
While pools of blue are crying
Like the cries of a dying bird
Echoing through the trees
I hear you moan and ache so deep
I feel you long to be
Oh kind sir, I’m trapped here
Never to love again
For every soul I’ve come to care
I’ve brought to their bitter end
A knight, he came upon me
Atop his brilliant steed
But when I said I loved him
I planted an evil seed
He made me lovely things
To show me all his care
I stroked his hair so gently
But the curse it would not spare
His eyes grew dim and weary
As dark as a winter’s day
He breathed my very essence
And vowed to forever stay
Intoxicated and wilting
The rose waned from his cheeks
He climbed his brilliant steed no more
And love no longer speaks
Oh kind sir, I really wish
These words I speak were real
But a faery’s tongue is ages old
And thus your fate is sealed
Now forever resting
In loves eternal sleep
That is why WE lie here
In this garden where I weep
