Loneliness seeps in
Gripping at her heart.
Making her afraid
As her love departs.

Running towards the door
As it slams in her face.
The one she longs for
Is the one she can never embrace.

Her tears begin to stream
As she falls upon the floor.
She wishes it wasn't true
Not knowing what's in store.

Her heart shatters
Like precious crystal.
She never realized
Her heart was so brittle.

Gasping for breath
She frantically grabs at her chest.
Her heart slows down immensely
As if taking a rest.

Lying on the cold hard floor
In a pool of blood.
Her life fades away
As if in a flood.

Lying in the dark
Memories haunt me.
Watching for a spark
That will allow me to see.

Silently I wait
Looking for the light.
Should I take the bait
And float away in the night?

My patience grows thin
As I lie alone.
Will I ever win
As the bitter wind blows?

I've had enough
Of waiting for the good.
I'm calling your bluff
I always knew I should.

Reaching for the twilight
Rejecting the dawn.
I've never felt so right
My entire past is gone.

Starting life anew
Void of all that's past.
I'll forever be true
To my life, the darkness has cast.

Crystal water sits still
Fireflies dance above the plants.
On-lookers get their fill
And it's never followed by rants.

Milky twilight overhead
Whispering Willows lilt in the wind.
The song of the night fills your head
As branches of the trees bend.

Daytime animals are lulled to sleep
As softly, rain begins to fall.
The willows quietly weep
And sway their limbs for all.

The night drifts along
As more animals drift off.
Nocturnal creatures join the song
Listen close, for it's oh so soft.

Crickets join in
As well as frogs.
There is no sin
In the evening fog.

Soon, the song will fade.
as the sun will come.
It will create shade
And the night song's done.

Gazing into your eyes
I see pain and sorrow.
Taunted by your past
And troubled by your future.

You've ridden a long road
And had times of pure bliss.
But underneath that
There is a deep sadness.

Do not be troubled
My dear friend.
This is just the beginning
Far from the end.

The road ahead is long
And bound to be difficult.
Don't ever stop
Or take anything for granted.

You needn't worry
About anything to come.
I'll be by your side
And will be forever more.

In an enchanted wood
Surrounded by plant life
Faeries play
Never knowing strife.

When humans come along
They're told to hide
Forming a throng
The law, they must abide.

What would become
Of one who would stay?
Would she succumb?
Would that human play?

They'd never risk it
For fear of their immortality
Could a lone human
Outwit a faerie?

The risk is immense
She really shouldn't try.
But in her defense,
Her wings wouldn't allow her to fly.

The human approaches
The one tiny faerie
His presence encroaches
On feelings that vary.

Anxiety and zeal
But most of all fear
Is what she feels
As he draws near.

She darts behind a bush
Hoping he didn't see
She knows she shouldn't push
And should let him be.

He looks to the left
And then to the right.
He wonders if something just left
His line of sight.

He almost passes
The bush that she's inside.
But something falls, crashes
And he jumps to the side.

A tree limb falls
And collides with his leg
He begins to call
For anyone, he begs.

He cries out in pain
As the blood begins to flow.
Knowing its in vain,
His tears begin to show.

The time is right
For her to leave.
She should take flight.
This, she believes.

As she readies her wings
To get away from this man,
The anguish this brings
Is more than she can stand.

She emerges from hiding
Her heart beating fast
She shouldn't be siding
With humans, they're so brash.

She flies to where he lays
His breathing grows slow
She knows she must stay
The healing energy from her begins to flow.

With a sudden jolt
The man sits upright.
Before she can bolt
He grabs her, mid flight.

This must be a dream
He believes in his mind
Her wings begin to gleam
As he holds her inside.

His hand grows hot
And he releases his touch.
He becomes distraught.
This is too much!

Faeries aren't real
He says to the air
He begins to feel
A longing to care.

She flies to his ear
And whispers lightly
Faeries ARE real
So believe, if only slightly.

With a wink she's gone
And then a bright flash
He lifts himself from the lawn
This realization will last.

When times change,
And things seem uneasy.
The world spins round,
And you feel queasy.

When you're threatened,
And don't want to be alone.
I'll be there to guide you,
To ensure you get back home.

I will protect you,
But why can't you see?
That you're my everything,
My everything to me.

I'll stand my ground,
And never leave your side.
I'm fighting for you,
I'm along for the ride.

So when things seem tough,
And life isn't fair.
If you need to shed a tear,
You know I'll be there.

Sitting along the bank
Of the River of Life
She watches as life blooms
And miracles take shape.

They start so small
And grow so fast
Their capacity for learning
Astounds the gods.

The lone figure
Resting on the bank
Silently watches
As the river flows along.

Destined to watch
And not to interfere
The Goddess cries
Longing to touch.

The Goddess doomed to watch
Is being punished
She's never to know
The love of another.

To receive this punishment
She broke the law
She fell in love with a man
A human man, not a god.

Tortured by the view
And the beauty it creates
She begs for forgiveness
As more tears fall.

She lowers her head
As her cries fall on deaf ears
She holds herself and rocks
Wishing the pain away.
