Here me now see me how? I am as cold as the wind clouds inside this clear glass skin.

The weavers of dreams complete of this night time and ask

that you to move on and ride on

into a heathland of light and silver masque

dancing in melody that sigh around a starlight bough

Stepping in moonlight shoaled in hope and fast

calming the conquered eye

from your wishes that at a glance lie surpassed

on your secret silvered mount

embarking a pearled quest quietly grasped

in cantered music this rhythm of secret wrong

up and down to the old one's song

in beds that last lost in the ages of sweetly smelling and secret heart song

Their cries as night birds silvered and frosted

the faces as moon in wax and concern

for you and your lover captured, silent, return

You know what. I am just wondering why I always associate fairies with evil. Why? Always. I have been planning a lower back tattoo that is of a gothic fairie bound in vines. And, I see you have associated fairies with evil too in this poetry.

This also reminded me of my weekend, I was travelling on a divided highway, through a crazy ass thunder storm, and low and behold, a rainbow emerged. It was ended between the two highways. Strongest thing I've ever witnessed. Like I had my hand in it almost.

My fav line: in cantered music this rhythm of secret wrong.
This poem is so entirely subtle that it actually screams of an affair of heated lovers. Not enough said, leaving only my imagination. Had you over spoke it, it would have not lightly danced fairie-like.

Not about faiires really. More to do with looking at the gestalts on the inside of an oyster shell.
As I said my enjoyment comes from what others see.Thanks for a lot of enjoyment.

I can see everything of the bay bathed in the silvering light of the moon...secretive night time activities commercing and all that are entailed ...I see ancient ritual (stanzas/lines 11&12) ...and I sense the tribulation hence forth accumulating ...I could and did make up my own reasons why...
~so fun and full of fairie magic~*

Try Richard Dadd's 'The Fairy Fellows Masterstroke' I think you will like that and thank you very much Rain.
