When she sings Celestials dance Her voice summons sprites Automatons ignited by a single utterance Writhing and shimmering Even in the shadows The fae emerge from beneath oak leaves Coaxed out of hiding By what was taken For a druidess' song When she sings I weep At what could have been At what is She tosses a glance down at me And juxtaposes elation with despair My skin revolts In an eruption of goosebumps Not even whiskey can suppress Each melody Revealing Unspoken depths Nourishing her unassailable spirit Flawless in her imperfection Tempered in her brokenness Her breath fills my soul With effervescent aether All my meticulous machinations My impenetrable nonchalance Those incorrigible wisecracks The implacable facade Methodically pieced together over time Shattered Undone by the whisper of a seraph
