summer sorceries
bright fairy stories to bring you out of the darknessstarlight upon flowers
starlight upon flowersshimmering shades of blue
is there nothing more beautiful
or fairer than you
all else becomes void
as i gaze upon your dance
for fairylights are known
for the most hypnotizing trance
i breathe the faint air
as i hold out my hand
reaching for you to take me
to another land
my body turns to stardust
as i lose myself in your glows
a world where bliss is eternal
and all movement is slowed
never leave me my dear
my world is so dark
this realm is that last journey
i wish to embark
for you are the shimmer of silver so bright
enlightening the world
in the coldest night
moonlight children solemn and fair
protect and watch over me
forever under your care
a fairytale spirit
so enchanting so true
you are my one love
i'll never forget you
a starstorm swirls
violet was the cloak of the wandering wizardwho conjured comets
cyclones and blizzards
and upon her robes
a starstorm swirled
gold and silver silks
from other worlds
and she sang songs to children far and wide
and told them tales
that widened their eyes
she spoke of the clarity
of the mages mind
how the enchantress could leave one
with perfect vision
blind
she sung of the fires
of the sorcerer's soul
and how the warlocks servants
were a thousand years old
she whispered the secrets
of the bards flowery tongue
and how the gods formed the world
before life begun,
but of all of her tales
she had but a single favourite one -
of all the marvelous things that could be achieved
if only in wondrous tales
a little child believed
fairy daughters
when daylight dissolves to darknesswhen despair consumes the night
come dream with me
my fairy daughters
i will bring you back to the light
verdant forest
she danced in a verdant foresta land of eternal spring
she slept enchanted meadows
encircled by mushroom rings
she gazed at herself for hours
in a lake that was crystal clear
maidens wove her crowns out of flowers
she knew no worries or fear
she placed her feet upon the earth
and seeds would bloom to life
her green heart had called them
to be birthed
the magic of a woodland sprite
enchantress daughters
magic resides in forests and waters
where sleep the terrible
enchantress daughters
awakening only to sing and dance
charming wanderers into trance
onto cobweb cushions
they were hypnotized
as sorcerers spells
were their lullabies
and there in that glade
indulging in desires
under starlight, under moonlight
and the the red flame fires
at twilight they'd conjure
tempting treats
sugared violets
and cherry sweets
there they keep their mortals
trapped for weeks
for the thought of leaving
makes them weep
king of the nymphalidae
they lingered in a grove
bejewelled with flowers
and from morning star til twilight
they partied for hours
but this was no ordinary gathering
that was forming
a birthday feast for the butterfly king
and all those who adore him
and so it begun
in the gardens so green
as I witnessed the splendors
that goes unseen
for there are many butterflies
in the green gardens
different colours and shapes
with antenna like martians
the harlequins dance wildly
with iridescent wings
as the starry night drifters
begin to sway and sing
The daggerwings keep guard
and watch over the celebration
as the swallowtails sip fairy wine
with an elegant sophistication
the glasswings hypnotic
draped in gossamer gowns so sheer
that the red admirals needed liquid courage
just to be near
fairy wine had put the duskwings
in a slumber so deep
that only the light of the butterfly king
awoke them from their sleep
as he entered the grand celebration
he sang and he shout
let us dance! Let us drink!
‘til the starlights go out!
he fluttered through lands
with wings chiming like bells
the sparkling sound enchant
like sweet little spells
his amber-jewelled wings
beared the regal marks
of the royal family
the majestic monarchs
the prince of fairy dust
the Nymphalidae
and he shone and glimmered
like liquid sun rays
and there was nothing in the garden
that was so beautiful and so bright
than the light that trailed him
through the days
and the nights
summer night sapphire splendour
summer nightsapphire splendor
silver stars shining tender
ignited by enchantresses
i bathe in your light
limitless infinite
in the darkness of night
i gaze in your eyes
and i see your dreams
arcane visions are conjured
a magic serene
faerie fire
i dreamed of a faerie firein the field it shined so bright
as a rainbow beaming into the alluring
mysterious blue midnight
and around that vibrant flame
there it was they danced
and from that moment ever on
I was cursed to be entranced
summerbright
a fairytale the minstrels singof a daughter of summer
and a prince of spring
among rose red forests
where the fair folk dwell
where every whisper on the wind
is an enchantresses spell
there in the woods
they'd meet in morning light
that magical moment
between spring
and summerbright
eversong
i wander the lands of eversongwhere magicka thrives radiant and strong
golden realm, twisted trees
ivory branches, amber leaves
and through them fly the dragonhawks
wandering lands where the mages walk
gold as the light of sunlit wells
scarlet as the fires of a mages spells
but a shadow cast upon that land
where sorcery thrive in elvish hands
sapphire curtains hide secrets grand
spiralling towers overlook
a kingdom damned
azuremyst
over teal green grass stand ivory antlersof silver stags and dryad dancers
lit by amethyst shining and sharp
as minstrels sing sad songs on harps
as pale as the silver of stone and sands
the distant memories of former home lands
grey moths glide through the lilac mist
as orchid flowers attack and hiss
true their heart sings songs
for the home they miss
all fall in love
with the land of
azuremyst
artaeum
Ohh artaeum! psijic secrets dwellwhere singing waters whisper little spells
elven ears hear what others cant listen
to the magics of nature as they glisten
Flowers fair of pinks and white
shimmer under stars morning lights
upon the hills where the butterflies dance
and the turquoise nixads sing in trance
lilac mysticism drifted upon the air
and the rose petal circlet that she adorned upon her hair
glowed like the golden halo upon the silver mist
staring at the morning stars with my love i miss...
the hidden realm where secret lovers once kissed
mystic mirage
you may not see from an elf eyes visionyou may not hear what elf ears listen
where little bugs drinks from the dew drop waters
and their daisy chained daughters
chiming in meadows
a song they sing
enchanted melody summon forth
the fairy king
a grand parade, a mystic mirage
and how wonderful his entourage
fairy wine was ruby red
golden was the honey bread
peony pink where the smiling cheeks
of the fairy children
to busy dancing to fall asleep
diamonds where the eyes
of the beautiful girls
who dusted their skin
with the sparkle of pearls
raising the monarchs cape
wild butterflies
and under his rule
the fairy kingdom thrived
for love and joy were his most
precious prize
monarch
the only man i'd ever trustwith the crown of a king
is a monarch of amber black white wings
faerie king calls
the fairy king callsand I shall listen
deep in the forest
where the dew drops glisten
i enter this realm
and i am not the same
i hear his song louder
calling my name
and so i arrive
a servant faithful
faerie king my lord
eternal and graceful
angel food cake
daydreamers delightin marshmallows white
and all fluffy desserts
lighter than light
a luscious souffle
warmer than day
where those vanilla creams
are my cloud sweet dreams
the reflection in the lake
an indulgent milkshake
the divinity of a parfait
takes me a feather flight away
where all my dreams are baked
as sumptuous cream cakes
by heavenly bodies
only an angel could make
dreaming daughters
awakendreaming daughters
i rise you from your slumber
may the earth hear your yawn
as the roaring of thunder
too long have you slept
while your sisters have wept
the ritual is now set
for the sunder
lovesongs for unicorns
in a lavender valemy tale begins
i remember nothing
til i began to sing
lovesongs to unicorns!
my saviours in the woods
they found me there wounded
face hidden under hood
but unicorn magic!
my soul purified
i thought i was lost
i thought i had died
no memory of my past
how long my torture last
but my spirit anewed!
rejuvenated!
what a grand blessing
I had been fated
to them i swore a vow
and this is my life now
singing lovesongs to unicorns
how long has it been
ever have i wondered
if it has been two years
or if it has been two hundred
feather wings
you pushed me off the cliffyou planned for me to die
but I grew magnificent feather wings
and they took me to the skies
peachy meadows
you were as pleasant as a rainbowa desirable as the dawn
sweeter than the peachy meadows
where sleep the dreaming fauns
springtime sunshine
behold the morningthe rising of the sun
where fairies sing
and the unicorns run
our enchanted world
so bright so fun
no time for rest
for our hearts are young
fairy daughters destiny
never stop dreamingmy fairy daughters
never stop bathing
in those enchanted waters
eat those sweet treats
indulge in those delights
it is the love of your hearts
that brightens the nights
it is the charm of your kiss
fire and wine
it is the joy of your smile
holy divine
may you grow ever onward
as grape and vine
may you sparkle ever forward
as moon and sun shine
sunlight upon flowers
sunlight upon flowersshimmering shades of gold
there is no more beautiful sight
i could behold
and i see the light
as i gaze upon you in silence
and in my heart i feel a hope
that's more certain than the horizon
i am swept forward by breeze
and I raise my hands
it is now my time to enjoy
the sunlit land
i am ever fufilled
I embrace all in my arms
i will protect you forever
you won't see any more harm
i have never left you my dear
i have watched over you in the dark
this realm is the safest sanctuary
you will ever embark
for within your heart radiates
a vibrant glow so bright
and i see it shining greater
than sun rising after the night
children of the sun
in pain and so lost
the hurts of your heart
i have never forgot
trust in our love
and your heart so true
you are my purpose in life
love yourself
as i would have
loved you
enchanted eroticism
delicious & disastrous desire
wicked sorcery
As smooth and rich as honey
cruel curses rolled off her tongue
the wine was sweet and running
down her chest a garnet hung
a wicked jewel of darkness
held the heart of a burning sun
she lured lovers with her lips
as it was there
her sorcery begun
everlasting limerance
i am ever lustingafter the limerence
of which i am ensorcelled
since the first time I held your pretty face
in my hands
bewitched berries
charmed cherries
bewitched berries
charmed cherries
gilded in a glass
with blackberry honey
warmer than sunlight
in your tummy
a decadent delight
for those starved nights
but
i dont need to drink
the fairy wine
when sweet lips like yours
come close to mine
and you entwine
my body with yours
and that fluttering passion
opens a thousand doors
igniting there
my sparkling dreams
in the fairy forests
where the river streams
and i
and i dont need to drink
the fairy wine
angel song
i am your angelwhispering songs divine
seducing your demons
drunk on wine
moon moth, candle smoke
under moon, moths and candle smoke,we worship we chant and we invoke
a transmutation of venom into honey
under eclipse, skies both dark and sunny
they called this place the palace of pleasure
and there her priestesses lay in leisure
lavish revelries, a sumptuous feast
they dance to seduce man to monster and beast
their wicked goddess, half woman, half corpse
decay and desire is the path she walks
for those who are blessed with her dark kiss
their blood shall flow in decadent bliss
lovesong
Never had I heard a lovesong sung
Til the fae prince whispered
with a flowery tongue
And from his breath
rose petals flew
and there in the glade
he loved me too
By the rosey meadows
where the satyrs sing
and the nymph girls danced
crowned in daisy rings
I gave you my love
under woodland green
and you were more beautiful
than anyone i'd ever seen
Ohh my love
our secrets ever dwell
where singing streams
whisper little spells
elf ears hear
what others can't listen
to sparkling treasures
as they glisten
The flowers were there
rose red and bright white
and how delightfully they shimmered
under moons pale lights
strawberry sweethearts
strawberry sweethearts
puff velvet sleeves
red checkered picnic rug
under summer trees
raspberry jam
sunshining bright
i wonder if you'll be the one
to cherish me tonight
maenad revelry
maenad revelry
in the meadow i hearthe alluring melody
it is there they dance
maenad revelry
indulging their
hedonistic devilry
i desire a life
so completely heavenly
satyr song
satyr dance to music wildreveling as mischievous child
pan flutes whistle into breeze
raising high the fallen leaves
saturnalia was the song they sing
the golden age of revelling
jump high, dance, love and sing
for soon chill air comes whistling
creator of constellations
oracle eyesof clearest vision
constellation creator
sacred tradition
cloaked in dusk
stars in eyes
from far above
where moonlight rise
whispered chants under night
banishing terrors with sacred light
a serenely silver golden gaze
see through all darkness
shadow and haze
cobwebbed coven
an adventure into the crumbling ruins of long forgotten tragedies
grave digger
when you yell at me for having dirty nailsi am no longer afraid to get angry back
as I have had to
dig myself out of the grave
you buried me in
and I wont be the one going back
ceramic heart
i don't have the physical strengthto equip a mighty sword
like you
but i can wield the jagged shards
of my ceramic heart
that you smashed
in pieces two
blood red wine
sipping a glass of blood red winein an old nearly forgotten mansion
as my car had broken down outside
my unfamiliar company was like a mirage
a tall dark and elegant man
who stood very large
closing the curtains
he turned as he sat
as he beckoned his servants
with a single clap
the meal was exquisite
the desserts were divine
he ate no food
yet he watched me eat mine
he gazed and he stared
as I stuff my face
of roast meats and rich desserts
on a table layed with lace
as the feast was ending
I found myself feeling ill
but it wasnt the food
i'm convinced it was the booze
kind host, I think I might retire soon
im afraid im going to snooze
I might head to the guest room
certainly, said the stranger
lifting up from his chair
you are my guest here
may i help you to the stairs
all is well gracious host
i believe ill be fine
however the wine you have served
is as thick like slime
oh my word, said the host
as he lifted his glass
it was chosen by my servant
that silly lass
he yelled at the girl
who was more pallid than fair
go down to the cellar
I shall deal with you there
growing suspicious and confused
I looked at the man
i have a few questions to ask, if i can
certainly, said the stranger
his skin sullen and grey
behind shadow I can barely see your face
and you havent told me your name
thats unnecessary sir
go to bed your health is paramount
for all you need to know is
they call me the count
old gods
do you hear the old gods callingancient memories long since gone
great forests torn and seedlings stomped
to this day they still do mourn
do you hear the old gods calling
lingering whispers in darkened night
shadowed beast of twisted antlers
hidden out of sight
do you hear the old gods calling
from dark soil of nurtured earth
beckoning me to their catacombs
so they may once again be birthed
i have heard the old gods calling
awakened from rotting graves
midnight chanting and blood red sacrifice
in coven within ancient caves
i have heard the old gods calling
i have heard the piercing scream
i have seen the forbidden deitys
the beast enshroud my dream
i have seen the old gods walking
spill forth from accursed tombs
greyed flesh no longer recognizable
as they birth from rotting wombs
tears of my kingdom
when you saidthere was a great threat
to our kingdom
i sharpened my longest sword
i wore my shiniest armour
i sat upon the mightiest steed
i held a shield that could reflect dragonfire
and I begged you
and I did beg you
tell me what mountain must I climb?
what stormy seas must I sail?
what terrible lands must I traverse?
what monstrous beasts must I slay?
all for you
all for you to lay there
in that hospital bed
and tell me
the doctors say you
you won't survive
the rest of the year
