Innocently spoken
lips of fairie red.
Failure to answer
deliberatly unsaid
"Come On!
You want to play!
I see in your eyes
and OH,
by the way"
"At the end of the day
You've nothing to say?
We'll see.
Yea?"
"Come now
Sing and dance with me.
By the time night comes
we'll use the key."
"The window thought closed
we'll not use tonight
For as the sun sets
the door will shine bright."
"And, just as before
when the Moon was full
you danced by the light of the fire.
And your life...not dull."
"So come on Old Foe
I challenge you today
to come to the Forest
But, don't forget to pray."
Now Joe's eyes
fairie green-blue
Her hair of red waves fell
Her waist little too.
Charming alluring daring
Joe seduced the weakening victim
O so sweet her voice
before Joe actually kicked-em.
"I can't, I won't !
Now, GO JOE!
far from me!
Out! You Elphin mischief maker!
There! The window!
Now, LET Me BE !"
Pouty lips and bats of fairie lashes
A wink of Joe's eyes
she extends her hand
"Come now, come nigh,
and do not say, good-bye."
"My human friend
Please don't cry."
Joe's fingers crossed
after her word
"You know you want to come."
Joe's clever tenderness heard.
Then their eyes met
Joes soul stronger by far
It reached out to point the way
to the forest
by declare.
Weeping, sobbing and uttering,
"NO!,
For with you fairie
I SHALL NOT GO!."
"You LIE, you CHEAT, You've NEVER TOLD the truth!
Away from me little demon!
For I a clever sleuth !"
"I found out your tricks
All slippery twists and turns.
You'll not lead me to the forest
the fires there
will not burn!"
Blink blink. Smile smile.
Joe's gestures summoned otherwise
Lies, cheats, twists and turns?
"You know how you loved it?
O, compromize!"
"Hey, for now,
why don't we play?
Remember the time
remember the day?"
"You chased me,
and I chased you
around and about
and away we flew."
"And, I gave you wings
so you could fly.
You wore them one day
and flew sky high."
"Up and away
or top of the trees!
O, how you flew.
Then, crashed down on your knees."
"You cried a little
afraid to smash
but, I caught you.
Do you remember that?"
"By day we flew
through tops of trees.
At night we danced,
...
howled while burned the fire
with the breeze."
"The snow fell
white branches below
cold air on our faces
you didn't say, no."
"Confessing your fears,
don't make me fly!
Saying, Damn you fairies!
But, we took you so high."
"But, once on top of forest trees,
cold air blew
threw majestic hair.
Then, smiles over took you.
You'd no more cares."
"Remember Foe
the human flew
above The Earth.
And, safely returned
to the fires hue."
"Tasting fairie brew
through freezing; made warm.
Tasting the food,
Now, whats the harm?"
"So, come now,
god of the sky.
Let us dance, cheer and sing
and, don't try to lie."
"For flying, your game fare
The fairie sort
A dare!
So, stay if you must..."
"But, winter is coming
and near the first frost.
Kindling our fires
don't get lost."
"The invite is yours.
extends the Fairie hand
In Spring depart
from kindred land."
"Think it over,
I'll return once.
To ask you to play
to ask you to dance."
"well,
quiet are you
Not so sure?
Your soul inside
embarressingly pure."
"Judge others,
and they judge you.
But, in Fairie land
all tiny feet
where the same tiny shoe."
"So, I'll leave you this morning
to think for yourself.
I'll return ONCE more.
~~~
When The Moon shall wane
then,
follow the elf."
But, one more time
I ask you to follow
before The Moon's full light is gone.
Then, don't dillie-dallow
Joe moves to the window
fairie finger points up.
Then, her fairie wings take to flight.
But, before leaving from captives sight
Joe turns to wink and salutes
Good-bye.
