By Scott Grimando © Companioned By The Moon Losing Count Of The Hours Gone Since I Could Find The Path I Was On A Pale Blue Glow For This Was Not The Light Of Sol But Illumination That The Moon Did Sow Of The Fairy Queen Who Walks The Night Ensnaring Men With Siren Eyes Appealing To Their Primal Drive As Rose Petals On A Landscape Bare With Ivory Skin And Emerald Eyes The Strongest Man Falls Weak And Cries Courting Lovers On Mortal Soil For Fairy Men Lack Lustful Ways As Their Title So Implies Besotted Men In Taverns Lie Reflecting On Their Lives Gone By Longing For A Magic Night Never Free Of The After Glow Tethered Still To Twilight Lands Where The Fairy Queen Seduced Them I Would Still Dismiss These Tales But I Can Say Without A Doubt That The Fairy Queen Is Not A Lie At First I Thought A Trick Of Leaves Closer She Flew On Wings Of Moonlight And I Was Transfixed By Her Eminent Sight And Flutter Away As Quails From The Spear But I Was The One Hunted This Night As Soon Would Become Abundantly Clear And Without A Word Spoken, My Love Became Bound To A Creature So Lovely She Could Not Be Contained On Earthly Ground Her Body Seemed Willing To Dwell For A While As Mine Began To Waiver And Join Her In Exile I Was Blinded And Joyous When I Open My Eyes I Stood Not On Earth But In The Twilight Lands Before Us A Fluttering Voice Soft And Adoring But Your World Cannot Endure Us Sometimes By Choice But Often By Chance The Chemistry Of Magic Strands On Earths Fragile Balance Though Men Offer Distractions In Moonlit Dalliances Would You Lay Beside Me And Share My Desires At Least Till Morning Light We See To Find My Own Voice That Would Not Sound As A Growl To Her Song I Would Be So Lucky As To Land On Your Window But A Man That Is Chosen To Bask In Your Glory Would Have To Be Crazy To Reject Your Pillow My Manners Do Lack Flair How Am I To Call You One Who Is So Fair As You Can Plainly See My Kingdom Dwells In Moonlight Forever It's Decreed While I See Eternity On Mighty Wings Of Love We Can Rise Above And Fly My Heart Does Yearn for Thee As Waves Crash Endlessly It's Simply Meant To Be Man Who Walks The Woods But In Truth You Can Not Stay Here As I Can Not Join You As The Land You Would Abandon Though You Seem Strong And Willful You Cannot Defy The Wilds Bidding Of Fairy Lands Not Yet Plundered A Puckish Place Full Of Sprites That Relish In Blissful Delights With Memories Of Love Gave Free For I Am Bound To Walk The Night While You Must Live In Broad Daylight Then Maybe Tomorrow Will Never Come If By Some Chance Your Love Be Won For I Cannot Live Apart From Thee You Have Stumbled Upon The Key My Heart Contains A Mystery That No Man Has Ever Seen Immortal And My King A Prince Will Come From Our Unity If You Have The Will To Court The Queen And Left Here In Tortured Rapture Falling Short Of My Exalted Standards But You May Prove Of Stronger Stock But The Morning Never Came I Found Myself In Heavy Woods Where My Journey Once Began This Life It Seems Is Pale And Boring Compared To Loves' Eternal Soaring The Fairy Queen Leaves Scars Adorning And Think About My Forlorned Muse Her Heart She Claimed A Clever Ruse Insisting She Did Not Have One Yet Still I Wait For Her Return The Cars Hiss By As If To Say You've Lost Her Now, It's Time To Move On |
