She was a parasite A pumpkin-head A fire breathing squall. When the birds came She screamed her curse: I’ll ***** an eyelash Timelapse Into the desert blue. Then so the birds Flew back to their eerie To wait another day In the desert blue without a coo. And while they’d wait She’d spill her pumpkin head All over her cloudy domain. And the birds cried out “Mab oh Mab! End this mortal curse And stop the Timelapse!” Parasite Girl Now Paradise Girl Blessed of the birds.

The Girl & The Birds
The wine you spilled you made me claim And I couldn't help, but take the blame While a piece of me you tainted with shame. Now, I don't dare to show my name. What a mythical thing to be A fae underneath a rotten tree The scars you made I've shut close And I threw the memories in cases I've lost. You know my train could take you home But on the way, it'll curse you to a life alone. I sold the pieces right then and there Heart of mine, to spirits who dare.

Heart of mine
In a bed splashed by mermaids, listening to the angels sing, pulling on every heartstring. Watching for fairies and leaving gifts by the tree: "If I tell them my name, maybe I'll be free." Awake and unmoving, gentle eyes greet a panicked mind, soothed by the touch of the coldest hand. The dead listen to the sorrow of the ****** "Imaginative child, you'll grow out of it soon," I repeat in a mocking tone and laugh with the moon.

I Never Grew Up
A feral flutter Light headed, heavy winged A slightly singed stutter to follow Bow your head into the faeries hollow Tiny hands of guidance, till you’re dancing in the gold and blue That fae has a face I know as you You chirp from birch to birch The echoes of your ivy crown Your laugh is etched in every sound In tree barks and wolf howls Drunken singing night owls In the shimmer of the mystical Rainbows when the sun hits crystal Late days and lightning And we remember you shining So many memories to make us swoon Your face I see in every moon A spirit embroidered with feathers Snoozing sweetly in the heathers Inked with sunshine and smothered in glitter Beyond the stars your chariot flitters Eyes of kindness and heart filled with love I know your smile still sings above These pixies they steal teeth and treasures They’ll take you on celestial endeavours Till somewhere soft and serene you’ll have landed Somewhere you’ll dance with the winged bandits

Winged bandits
I went from the "overabundance of life" to a knight of resignation I'm back to cheap pilsners local Genny's, union made Sometimes a Three Heads when I want to get plowed I'm trying to refine myself into a thoughtless identity so I may taste life again, make music again Did I do it all in the grapes of my youth? I guess I need a sommelier for my heart cause all I taste is river rock where there was once native berries and rare spices Sparks that charmed The dazzle of a demon that could cover their faults You dine or drink with thee and you're stuck in the Fae I'm the only one that hasn't stayed

A Less Boring Søren
A pixie a nixie, a fae all day, To these I must say oh me oh my, oh what am I to do on this fine day, this fine day in early may with pixies in the air and nixies in the sea the fae of the day, all around me.

Bonsai
A husk forever blazing black Apathetic inferno made Glittering in the moonlight The band of thieves steal away. In her roughened burlap sack She carried the burning shade Cradled among the glinting gold Yet longing for the blade. A creature full of foul designs Denizens of the glade A forest of young lovers' kisses Renders her afraid. She'd been here once before, in fumes, Breathed the sunlight of the day, and her heart had gasped and touched a spark which set it all aflame. She was sharp, the thief, and saw the lovely fae Who stole her life and sought her soul And burned her just the same. When she returned, all was calm Lady long absconded With her love to the fae so cruelly bonded Her loss a bitter balm. The thief and the fairy met one night And found solace in another And since it burned so midnight bright Both women lost a lover.

Vision
“Will you barter for your garden?” the familiar stranger taunted. His haunting talk caught on a loose thread in my heart, recalling time and battles fought. Make no mistake about the fae. I must admit I was afraid, for I have seen my adversary tear out the grass’s screaming hair, poison the soil with atmosphere arid, strip the baby branches baren, shave the landscape clear. I need not obey him. I have in my hands a ***** and around this place an angry hedge. He can not prevail unless I show him the way. “No,” say I, “No bartering in my garden today.”

Sentry
I often dream of a place Far from home Deep in the woods I’m sure you know. Away from the people The buildings The noise Where the witches dance And the fae rejoice In their absence.

No man’s land
Faerie; With your golden eyes, your sharp-toothed smile, the words you spin in gossamer, in starlight, in orb-weaver silk. You compose a symphony in mycelium: Each tree an instrument, each interwoven root a note in harmony. Silvertongue, sundew, you have set a snare with green willow, a net of blackberry thorns, baited it with honey. All around, the evergreen pines, the winter roses bloom. A sweet end, arranged in perfect circles for you and I alone. I step, happily, toward your waiting arms— for with your clever, clever fingers, oh, sunflower, you have stolen me away.

bewitching
(what do you want from me?) i want you to come with me, deep below, down beneath, let me bury you. (would it be quiet down there?) yes, with dirt in your ears, dirt on your tongue, the silence so beautiful. (and if i don't like it, can i dig myself up again?) no, but you won't want to. the earth will hold you, the dark will warm you, the worms will sing to you. you will never be lonely again. (then bury me, hold me, don't ever let me go.)

shroud (a conversation)
A fog so thick that all is engulfed in it It spreads and grows then it disperses and rises Within this shroud this faery camouflage. For a second or a swirling minute Fairies dance with none to limit Nature burns no shadows dim it. Then towards the skies and burrowed in the ground This essence is released to return to fertile mounds And when each condition meets then in the fog the fae are abound.

Fae
She was the Fae to walk the dawn, Her eyes wide like scarlet moons. She faced the day like no other, She fought the sky She fought the moon She fought the world with spirit high, For love, nay for life, She was brave as was her might, To spread her wings across the moors, A Fae to rise and live again ---AuroraRW

Fae
Do not give your name away. It is the one thing you should never bargain. There is a strange feeling that follows you into the forest and across streams. Do not turn around. Don't accept gifts from beautiful people who seem far lovelier than they really are. At least, not for free. Don't say thank you. It's as good as owing debt. Say you appreciate the assistance, but never thank directly. Tread lightly in all things. Wear bits of clothing inside out. Stuff salt in your pockets. And if you here music flowing from a nearby stream or ring of mushrooms, do not dance to it. You will not be able to stop.
