You may be a goddess in your world,
Now you have crossed over to mine.
For it is a world of dark alleys,
A place where the sun seldom shines.

Yours may have glittering castles,
Whose battlements gleam in the sun-
But mine is a place of stark shadows,
Where wary men carry a gun.

You come from a place filled with faeries-
As gentle and soft as your breath.
But I tread a jungle, a quagmire-
My constant companion is death.

My humor is dry as the desert-
The things I find droll may seem strange.
I laugh at life's little ironies,
And some people say I'm deranged.

And yet I must send you this message,
Lady, whatever you do-
Watch where you step, and watch what you feel.
For danger is waiting for you.
