I remember coffee boiling-
On an old wood-burning stove.
While the cabin rocked before the blast-
The winter gods did blow...

I was young, my early twenties-
Punching cows was my desire.
There were visions of a faery queen,
Which slipped softly through my fire.

I could see her gleaming tresses-
As the flames would dance and whirl.
And her smiling eyes would beckon,
Promise, “I will be your girl!”

In the glitter of the hoary frost-
On early winter morn...
I’d see glimpses of the glory-
Of the gown which she had worn.

So for years my search continued...
As I sought to see her face-
In every crowd of people,
Every clime, and every place.

Then reality awoke me-
With, “The dream you sought is gone.
You are older, but no wiser-
You must ride your trail alone.”

So I guess my adversary-
Had my number, and it’s true-
So, farewell, my Faery Princess...
But I’ll die still missing you.

Good work. I like the way you've embraced the ballad-like western cowboy form. It's well done and very pleasant to read, even if the subject here is whistful and sad.

never try to teach a pig to sing
it wastes your time AND annoys the pig

A western fairy tale...how interesting. You told it well.

Some dreams die harder than others, but they all hurt to some degree. Very well expressed, John!

Don't you just hate to give up? I say let's NOT.
Much enjoyed this poem, John.
