"faerie" poems
Today the Irish people witnessed an eclipse in their senses. The morning came over all queer.  Nobody noticed, except the king of bookworms in the book of Kells, and the mice in the Campanile.   I witnessed the eclipse from a windowless room on the 4th floor of the Arts block.  Edmund Spenser's poem, The Faerie Queene,  shall henceforth be named, *Long **** by jury of 5 English Lit. Students and a Lecturer.  Also, Sinn Fein plans to build Jerusalem in Ireland's green and pleasant land.   Lines written last night over a cup of sugary tea in a public house in North Dublin.

The 1999 Eclipse Turned me Queer, I swear it.
I want to go back, back to my New Orleans This place that I call New Orleans is actually Louisiana But still, the gorgeousness of this dirt and grime The live oaks stretching over the 6-lane wide streets, Touching leaftips, making a canopy over the passerbys Crepe myrtles showering streets with lacy pink faerie dresses Smells of beignets and seafood fill the French Quarter Intense, consuming, warm, loving sun burning through your shirt In New Orleans to say horses sweat, men perspire and women glow is to be ridiculous. In New Orleans everyone sweats like pigs. As for the grime I mentioned, this exists mainly in the sidewalks cracked by live oaks which make an adventure of every walk down the street And in any semi-deserted street To have a Mardi Gras or St. Patrick's Day without a parade and citywide party is to toss aside traditions and the New Orleanian way The New Orleanians are welcoming, hearty and heartwarming, tough and unafraid to talk to a stranger on the streets. An old black man once greeted me with 'konichiwa' as I walked past A middle aged white man once struck up a conversation with us as he realised we had shared the same ferry earlier in the day An old asian woman conversed familiarly with our family at Cafe Du Monde simply because we are Vietnamese as well A teenaged white boy waved at us as we drove past him jogging A different old black man stopped and serenaded my siblings, mother and me with his trumpet just because we smiled Several young mothers and women have stopped my mother to gush  over my siblings and me, usually when we were very small I, myself, have given directions to a tourist or two, lost near Cafe Du Monde or the levee, And I hope that the warm smiling spirit of the Big Easy will remain forever immortal.

And life came in, crowned in blood, kissed and messed, announcing itself with a cry.   A girl-child, missing piece, fitted to my breast her weight absorbed with my heart's sigh She was fear personified, so heavenly blessed, she made my terrified simpers her lullaby. I felt my heart's core swell to absorb her scent, and my eyes overflowed with love's cascading cry. She cast light into my darkened chaotic hurt - sparked a desire to wake, to live, to try, clasping her whole fist around my ring finger, holding me still; the whole world passing by. And in her absence she left her shadow nestled in my chest. And in my absence I hid my kisses in her sigh. She grew with eyes of blue and a sympathetic smile - all faerie dust on the wing of a butterfly, an almost echo of a girl I once knew. Except she didn't know that kind of cry, wouldn't know anything less than rainbows, than Christmas mornings and endless blue skies. We tripped, clicked heels through the passing years, from little girl to little woman in the blink of an eye, till we were both wearing her shoes instead of mine. And like Alice, she snapped from low to high she grew - time sculpting curvy definitions of who I hope and fear she will be. She is golden curls and girlish giggles ever wondering the where or the why ever seeking to help, to heal, to try to pour her heart into an undeserving world. She has legs she claims to stand her ground to be, to free, to hold her own. And though like me, she is not me, since she is so much braver than I. Her finger is wrapped around her innocence holding strong to consent or deny. This life will make her cry her tears and this world will realise her fears but she will ever have the wings to fly and I will ever ready to sing her our lullaby.

She walked upon the forest floor with feathered faerie feet so still beneath a cedar tree where ferns safely sleep and from unfurling curls water droplets seep little dewy pearls for tiny birds to drink.

You said you'd always protect me And that you'd never hurt me That you'd love me and hold me And I was your precious. But can you protect me from yourself? My missing you and crying inside Pretending to be stronger than I am A defiant faerie, who wants no help Pushed over and pushed around I fight back and get up every time Persist and hold my ground But you still have yet to show mercy Perhaps you don't know, but I I am still subject to your blows and graces And still defy those stronger

As darkness fall, the veil thin, The year is drawing nigh. Shadows lengthen, gather strength, The year is drawing nigh. The dead they stir, and look around, The year is drawing nigh. Tonight they walk, tonight they dine, The year is drawing nigh. The sinks down, she’s dying now, The year is drawing nigh. Beneath the hills, the dying sun, The year is drawing nigh. Hollow hills, they open wide, The year is drawing nigh. Faerie folk, the mighty dead, The year is drawing nigh. Samhain’s fires, burning bright, The year is drawing nigh. To dance around, in death’s embrace, The year is drawing nigh. Ancestors dead, some long gone, The year is drawing nigh. We tip a glass, we place a plate, The year is drawing nigh. Death stands up, tonight he reigns, The year is drawing nigh. In darkness strong, the dying year, The year is drawing nigh. The revelers grow deathly quiet, The year is drawing nigh. All knees bend and all tongue stilled, The year is drawing nigh. For Death takes all and all will come, The year is drawing nigh. The Gates of Death, they open wide, The year is drawing nigh. His face you meet, at Death’s great doors, The year is drawing nigh. A friend, a judge, a lover, a blade, The year is drawing nigh. His embrace is sweet, but deathly cold, The year is drawing nigh. In love he strips you, bone from bone, The year is drawing nigh. Nothing left, you pass beyond, The year is drawing nigh. The veil it parts, the doors swing wide, The year is drawing nigh. Your last strong breath, last ****** The year is drawing nigh. And through you go, to what’s beyond, The year is drawing nigh. But Death’s great doors and Life’s fair doors, The year is drawing nigh. What’s dead and gone, will be reborn, The year is drawing nigh. A new breath breathed, a new day dawns, The year is drawing nigh. Death to Life, he takes your hand, The year is drawing nigh. All is gone, but all in new, The year is drawing nigh. The new dawn’s sun, in the east, The year is drawing nigh. The cold it flees, the shadows hide, The year is drawing nigh. Dark Samhain’s night to new year’s light, The year is drawing nigh. What was dead has come again.

The Year Draws Nigh, a Samhain poem
As darkness fall, the veil thin, The year is drawing nigh. Shadows lengthen, gather strength, The year is drawing nigh. The dead they stir, and look around, The year is drawing nigh. Tonight they walk, tonight they dine, The year is drawing nigh. The sinks down, she’s dying now, The year is drawing nigh. Beneath the hills, the dying sun, The year is drawing nigh. Hollow hills, they open wide, The year is drawing nigh. Faerie folk, the mighty dead, The year is drawing nigh. Samhain’s fires, burning bright, The year is drawing nigh. To dance around, in death’s embrace, The year is drawing nigh. Ancestors dead, some long gone, The year is drawing nigh. We tip a glass, we place a plate, The year is drawing nigh. Death stands up, tonight he reigns, The year is drawing nigh. In darkness strong, the dying year, The year is drawing nigh. The revelers grow deathly quiet, The year is drawing nigh. All knees bend and all tongue stilled, The year is drawing nigh. For Death takes all and all will come, The year is drawing nigh. The Gates of Death, they open wide, The year is drawing nigh. His face you meet, at Death’s great doors, The year is drawing nigh. A friend, a judge, a lover, a blade, The year is drawing nigh. His embrace is sweet, but deathly cold, The year is drawing nigh. In love he strips you, bone from bone, The year is drawing nigh. Nothing left, you pass beyond, The year is drawing nigh. The veil it parts, the doors swing wide, The year is drawing nigh.

The morning finds the young lasses milking And the young lads in the fields cutting Rams, ewes, and lambs eat and grow fat. The hens lay eggs while the roosters are strutting. The sun rises up for his daily walk, Drawing the day across the sky. He takes his daylight with him to another place Because the moon's time is nigh. Evening falls across the heather And the stars come out to dance. The faerie folk come to life And fill the night with their lyrical chants. The mists on the moors swirl and caper about, Taking rock and tree to embrace. The faerie folk make merry and dance about 'Neath the silver of the moon's face. They dance to music as old as time, Melodies and rhythms from long ago. Verses sung in ages long past, Songs only faerie folk know. They sing and dance under the moon and stars, As long as the night covers them about. But the moon and the faerie folk must go their ways For 'tis time for the sun to come out.

Night of Faeries
I am the zombie of Tinkerbell Her living corpse Dress sparkles all faded Tinkling like a broken bell My fairy dust no longer brings children the gift of flight But endows my prey with the curse of second life That I may twice devour their Squirming, wriggling, Writhing, scriggiling Flesh Just the way I like it With a wide dark grin across my face Teeth stained with blood and broken into points Eyes dim, dull, and hallowed Skin sallow and torn by the fighters, Who battle for their death Combatting the loss of their dignity I lure them in with stale illusions and sickly sweet snares Torn wings are no match for swift feet, but I manage Pushed onwards, pulled forwards by a need, urge To devour, consume, and engorge myself Again with tender meat And imbibe upon the sharp lifeblood Of faerie. For I, am the zombie Tinkerbell, and I hunger. It's dinner time...

Do not eat of Faerie food And do not drink of Faerie wine Or when you leave Faerie at last The home you seek's no longer thine. Do not step in Faerie rings Do not enter the Faerie Mound Or when rescue comes for thee Your sanity will ne'er be found. Do not lie to Faerie folk And don't insult the Faerie Queen Or for all of eternity You and yours will not be seen. Do not enter Faerie woods And do not walk the Faerie trod Or, though you come back to hearth, Your heart will ne'er again be thawed. Don't listen when Faeries sing And ignore the Banshee wail Or you will have the dubious fame Of becoming a Faerie tale. Do not look through Faerie stones That you find on the Faerie ground Or they will put out your eye So you can't see when they're around. Do not enter Faerieland But if you do, don't leave the path Or you'll be lost for ever more In darkness where the monsters laugh. Do not ask for Faerie help If it comes take care how you pay Some want clothes or milk for it Some are insulted and betray. Do not accept Faerie gold From captured elf or leprechaun For it will turn to moss and leaves And when you look up they'll be gone. Don't swim in the Faerie stream Where nixies and kelpie play Banshee wash dead men's ****** clothes In that water, so stay away. Do not believe what Faeries say Though it's true that they cannot lie They never say quite what they mean Honestly they will truth deny. Don't even taste Faerie repast No goblin fruits from elven trees They're addictive beyond belief A wise man offered such food flees. 'Ware giving thanks for Faerie gifts Though they save you from all pain Or else you may be in their debt And lose more than you stood to gain. Beware lights off Faerie shores And lanterns seen in wild bogs For wisps will lead folks off of cliffs And laugh as corpses float like logs. And buy naught from Faerie markets They sell goblin fruits, curses, lies The price your dreams, your past, your soul Your voice, the color of your eyes.

When, in disgrace that I myself despise And all alone do I lament my fate I think upon my sweet love’s steel blue eyes And doing so my troubles dissipate In my philosophy I do declare That in all heaven and all earth There is no one so wond’rous fair I have not a whit of her worth In wallowing in thoughts of pity springs My perfect songbird from solemnity As the dove from the ocean brings Green sprigs of hope from land to sea To the ideal you lift me from my spleen I am, forever, your earnest faerie queene

Sonnet for Emma
A speech in a play once described A Queen of Dreams. Mab. The faerie's midwife. I fear that she may be real. Plaguing me with dreams that haunt my reality. Déjà Vu Being nearly The only feeling I live with.

Let the sun and moon be a comfort to you, Under skies of clear blue. Let the faerie dust around you fly, One burden lifted. You heave a sigh. Do like me and get into a boat, And find a water lily bloom that down the river did float. Weave a web of colours gay, Even if the be day be gray, There is still light around you; Under skies of clear blue. Marian

She leaves a trail of broken heart in her wake. Like the River Styx, but very much alive. On the outside, one would look at her and say she's a faerie nymph flighty, giddy and naive. She treats boys like playthings- they would say, draw them to her and spit them out her pixie pranks bereft of benevolence. They are Theseus and Leucippus heroes victimized by false love they say, the underdogs. She is to blame. On the inside, however, it's a different story. They fixate on her, fall in love without consulting her first. To them, consent is an idea and an abstract any-thing. Something to be taken lightly or disregarded You see, consent is more than a verbal yes and consent is more than ****** thing. Consent is communicating your intent before acting on it and getting permission. So it should be the same with falling in love. No one owes anyone anything. Best friend, dark loner type, new boy/girl in your life, consider this before you vilify someone for what they don't feel.

A statement on the ******** surrounding unrequited love
i miss that light i might die buzz that I used to have. it wasn’t the amphetamine high-- it was the empty stomach i don’t have to eat high every meal skipped was power as if we were otherworldly creatures whose stomachs would only contain naughty water and faerie food. we were hollowing out and i loved it. the lightness of my bones, the way my cheek bones were shining through and my ribs were getting e a s i e r to count. & i miss that heart exploding dilated eyes rush. not for the high but for the simple matter that i was bird thin empty. not thin enough, but on my way. i miss it, and it misses me. i am strong enough…aren’t i? i could do it again. and this time— i wont need the pills. self loathing is fuel enough. i want that power— every bite I don’t take is a boy who told me i wasn’t good enough. every skipped meal is a small triumph against myself. i can do it. it would be easy and no one would notice. but i wont.

I dreamed of going to a ball once, all in red and gold--like Settareh from the old tales. Only, I had no pari to help me. My veil was secondhand, my gown plain, and my anklets of paste and plating instead of diamonds and gold. But there was this boy, you see. Not a prince, not the captain of a ship or a faerie lord, not a warrior, a healer or a mage...just a boy. And I had the barest will-o’-the-wisp’s hope that he would dance with me.

I Dreamed of Going to a Ball Once
Everything around me starts to sing, Everything’s like an enchanted dream,
 As the faerie dragons dance together,
 I feel the warmth of their light beam. All the little creatures gather round
 I'll tell you a story about a romance About a sparkle and a flame who burned As bright as the faerie dragon dance.

Elven Elders
There is a boy in the library, ignoring the crazy lady talking through the window. I feel like telling him she is nice. And probably not half as crazy as the librarians in this town. She has 2 children. They live in Greece. And when she cries, her dogs hide under the deck. But he probably doesn't speak English. Hardly any of these people sitting on their backpacks at the library do. And even if he did, he wouldn't listen. He is reading. Its a good book. I know its a good book. I've read it. Now I feeling like telling him to leave. He should not read it here, underneath the colour wallpaper. He needs to find a corner of a beach, so he doesn't have to cry in public. And he has to cry, because if he doesn't, I know the crying will happen inside. And his eyes will turn a shade darker with the smoke of their deaths, and his muscles will strain to rip from his ridiculously alive tendons. His eyes are already black, and I do not think he can afford to find more darkness. Not that I would know. He might pick cherries for a living and flirt with a trailer park attendant called Fiona is his spare time. But I have a smell for the scared and enclosed people here. I can see the kracken hunters and the faerie kissers. They show themselves to me accidentally and I turn watch them destroy their dreams. People ask me why I am cold all the time. They do not understand, because the boy at the library closed the book before he could cry and I knew he would be destroyed anyway

He called me princess. I don't think much of it, let it slip my mind from time to time. I'm fine with it. Until today, when I watched a woman tell a little girl she wasn't one. Talking about how her daddy shouldn't call her what she's not and her mama shouldn't be filling her head with words like, "You can be anything you want to." Like, its not true and if you don't tell her now she'll never outgrow the idea of being A princess. And though Heaven forbid we dreams big, I, was definitely a princess. Princess Aleisia of the Beauties, a forest is my own back yard, my castle was a tree I literally believed gnomes lived beneath: Alglenia. An orphaned warrior; I was half gypsy, half native, half Neopian Light Faerie, And though I clearly was not a princess who did math, I protected my subjects from monsters and evil that was constantly trying to overthrow good. I could wield a Morning Star better than any boy on the block. I had inner battles with myself, for I had the blood and horns of a dragon and it was always a challenge to be both Athena's apprentice and an aspiring sage because I thrived in the dark. I was part demon like Inuyasha, I was Sango, I was Mononoke, I was Mulan, I was Pocahontas, I was Bell AND the Beast, I was Susan and Lucy, I was Esmerelda, Anastasia And that's still a big part of me. Because, if someone had listed all the things I couldn't be while my knees were still to weak for me to stand and speak up for what I believed in, I probably would never have been a poet. So excuse me for using the word "heroine" with the last ounce of innocence the world has yet to offer a little girl. Pardon me for trying to learn to infuse grace and charm with strength and loyalty. Now, imagine with me. The places I used to play left in ruin. My castles disintegrating. The echo of my battle cries through the forests and fields and mountains have long since faded because the heir to my throne never took her place. Deny her the right to grow out of her child hood? Deny me the right to write? This was never a career choice of mine, This will always be a way of life.

{Act One-Darkness} <> There are no stars tonight, only the cold lifeless dark. No hearts on fire, nor passion plays. Only the faerie dance of fire flies, and the myth of love. {Act Two-Searching} <> Are we just bags of hormones either fortunately or unfortunately imbued with the chemicals of life? Will there be a day that we will be singled out for our levels of hormones? Will a new prejudice arise? Oh... she's 68.3% hormonal, he's 97% hormoneless..... Will there be hormone police, checking your levels before you buy a gun, or have a baby, or get married? (I should have reversed the order of those lines.) Are we just bags of hormones? Can we blame the lack of, or the abundance of, the chemistry in our bodies, infecting the knee **** reactions of our power hungry egos? Menopausal, testosteroned, endorphined, dopamined, all influencing the limbic system. Soon, very soon a storm is coming. A storm complete with tattooed bar codes describing our perspective hormonal levels. In the year 2025, separated by island walls. Are we just bags of hormones? {Act Three-Light} <> You can't love me, you don't love yourself. If and until you completely love yourself, you can not completely love another. The level of love that you have for me, can only be the level of love for yourself. You can't love me ........not yet.
