Eve of Cicada's On the night of the eve of Cicadas The woman, drabbed in cloth appears forth from the shadows In her arms, a child, rosy and red, just from it's hearth. She is running from a man escaping if you will. She travels into the desert of night, where the sky is cloudless, along with heartless... The woman, never thinking she had to run from the man, neigh was prepared for the heat. The sun. The child still smiled for he knew not of the cruel fate that awaited him. The mother, pale from lack of breathe, lack of food, lack of shelter, Collapsed on the ground, child still bore in her arms. She, breathlessly and dieing prayed to the gods to save her son, From the heat, from his father, From the harshness of the world. As she died on the ground, a woman, humble in appearance appeared to her. Her hair, as red as fire her smile as warm as a soft flame Her figure, small, almost childlike Said to the woman, "I will save your son, with the hearth of fire, of love, of family, He shan't feel the pain you have dear woman, now rest in peace" The woman handed the child to her, for her words were true. As she did, her lands, limped, as her soul drifted to the heavens.

Morning
The day bird chirps.
The dew drop ploops,
Falling from green blades,
Into the puddle of yesterday's rain.
The sun rises,
To meet with miles of water,
The prisms shine over the horizon of platinum.
The day bird chirps,
And all is as yesterday's morning.

Faerie
Her eyes were as pale as the deathly frost,
Her hair as dark as the night.
Upon her I stumbled, hopelessly lost,
And she said she would make things right.
"Just give me your hand," she said to me,
And I could do nothing but comply.
She drew me close and then I could see
No soul in those eyes.
She wove a magic so thick and pure
My throat constricted tight,
For never had I seen such beautiful lore
Upon so disheveled a night.
"Up there," she pointed to a glimmering pond
On which the Moon danced bright,
"You will find a maiden fair and blonde,
She will be your guiding light."
I took one last look at the precious dame
And as if sensing my regret,
She laid a cold hand against my bony frame
And told me not to fret.
"I'll be right here, my love," she said,
Laying a kiss on my lips.
"You have a treacherous road ahead,
All I can give you are my kips."
She slid the hide-skin cloak on me
Infusing me with magical heat,
"Now go, dear one, and set me free
From this agony so sweet."
Years later, when I sat on the throne,
I would oft wonder on the stories of ol'.
That maiden, a Faerie, like a beacon shone,
Setting fire to my heart and caressing my soul.

(I made this up when I was like 13; and you have my permission if you want to use this in the guild newspaper!)
Love Spell
Moon, star, ocean, sea
Listen to my cry for thee
Flame, leaf, air, sky
Heed my pleading cry
Sand and stone
Before you, I stand alone
In my heart, there's a burning heat
For the one I'm longing to meet
Moon, star, ocean, sea
Bring him to me
Flame, leaf, air, sky
There is a tie between he and I
Sand and stone
I wish not to stand alone

Dark Dreams
These dreams of mine,
They haunt me
Chasing me through time
Following no reason,
Following no rhyme
I seek escape,
I run and flee,
But forever will they follow me
So to the darkness I surrender
Letting it consume my being

Tears. My tears hidden away by the rain
I cry unseen
No tear trails cover my face
I cry unseen
I make no sound
I cry unheard
No sniffle or sob
I cry unheard
But that's all you hear and see
But for me?
It's a very different story.

The Goodnight Goddess
by Musical_Vampire_Socks
Goddess of Love, Goddess Of Light
Please hear my Prayers tonight
Let their be peace and Good Will to All
Let their be Kindness wherever you give the Call.
May my dreams be Tender and Sweet
May Nightmares from me you protectively Keep
Till morning light I ask you this.
To give my forehead a motherly goodnight Kiss.

gaia_diamond ~Celestial Jewels~ gaia_diamond The stars are small diamonds,
The sun is made of gold,
The night sky is full of jewels
That we can never hold.
The moon is a pearl,
That I treasure very much.
The night sky is full of jewels
That we can never touch.
