Fey Eyes
In the dead of night
Twinkling eyes in the dark
Fey eyes ride a quick horse
Billow in the wind
Faster than a kiss
A bow does not miss
Weave the sky into cloth
Arrow in your heart
Woe to your death.
Evil cannot bide
The swift morning tide
Fey eyes at the helm
Across the mysteries lie
One who in dreams doth toss
And scattered recollection like dross
Dreams e’re more real grow
Quiet hopes in the light sow
Up shoots a sprout
Looking for fey eyes,
Do not doubt.
Light a candle in the night
Shadow spring aside
Wrestle demons in wan light
Fey eyes on the scene
This be not fair dream
Keep the fight going strong
Song of death on bow strung
Whizz and thud
Shadow gone, victory is mine
Fey eyes in the dark doth shine
He must go, ne’er can he stay
Always, always break of day
Goodbye, my friend, I will say again.

Of You Again
I dreamed of you again.
I dreamed of you again.
I’m trying so hard to let go.
But I dreamed of you again.
Life is a yo-yo.
You hold onto me.
Part of me says no.
I can’t take the pain of a love with no gain.
You can’t be at my side.
So, let me go.
I say no, I’m letting you go.
But a quiet place inside reminds
That I would wait.
I would slowly fade
Just to wait for you to be with me.
It hurts, so I must let go.
My heart is joy and sorrow at the thought of you.
My being rejoices at a dream of you.
My soul exclaims you are the one.
My mind knows the price of loving you.
So, I must let go.
I try to convince myself
We weren’t meant to be.
We were never meant to be.
Beautiful poem. I like the irregular rhyme scheme. Does it have anything to do with a story you’re writing? 🙂

It didn’t when I wrote it but I could easily adapt it. 🙂
