by poetFemmeFatale Crickets chirping near the river hauntingly they sing - Cool night air makes me shiver warmed by mere moonbeam... Quiet waters bubbling smooth beckon me along - The sounds of night time, how they soothe, luring me with song. I tiptoe through the willowglades in search of elfin lad - His voice, my heart he serenades although, it leaves me sad... Been searching for him many years, a wizard cast a spell - And now he still cries human tears his soul condemned to hell. A handsome lad was he they say, but now he hides alone - The spell took all his charm away - true love, he's never known... He lives here in these Willowglades afraid though, to be seen - And through the night, this river wades, his tears, they flow serene. I walk the banks in search of him for I can break this curse - Although his love I have to win with serenading verse. As I walk, my voice rings sweet - I sing to him my song - Of how our souls are meant to meet, together - we belong... A rustling in the underbrush - I hear a young man's cry - I stop and listen with a hush, and then he whispers, "Why?" Again I sing with sweetest charms, as words cannot be spoken - Longing for him in my arms, I wish this curse be broken... So near he is - I hear his heart - beating like a drum... "No one, this love, shall tear apart, with song to you I come." 'Twas then I saw his elfin eyes now flowing fast with tears - The river here was made by him, his crying, all these years... I held my breath & saw his hand clenched tight, reach out for me - I pulled him up, and saw him stand - his face, I could not see... He pulled me close to kiss his lips, he took my breath away - The spell was broken instantly - In Willowglades that day... [This message has been edited by poetFemmeFatale (edited 06-18-2000).] |

A beautiful story well told. The flow and rhyme are excellent. It's like a grown up fairy tale. Pete [This message has been edited by Not A Poet (edited 06-20-2000).] |

Maybe not the kind of fantasy we've come to expect from you Femme, but very nicely done indeed  Eric. "We are the music makers and we are the makers of dreams." - Willy Wonka. |

"'Twas then I saw his elfin eyes now flowing fast with tears - The river here was made by him, his crying, all these years..." This has got to be my favorite line above PoetFemme ... but then, I loved the whole mystical verse! Wonderful imagery and flow ... beautiful work! Best wishes, /Kit |

Such love and peace What else can I say As thank you My lady The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |
