"A Faerie Queen" by Jenna Rebecca Brager

A Faerie Queen (i)

So lonely upon her cool moss throne

Crafted from the finest of all

hidden gifts of nature.

She sees him,

Human boy, shining like

A Brief star.

Lips as autumn, Eyes as rain.

His shadow like a faeries wings,

embracing him in a darkness

that could never quench

his ethereal light.

A Faerie Queen,

By all means of Magick,

From the fey and deep love

Casts an enchantment entrapping

Azurecrystalflowofuniversalforce

And a boy fell into nothingness

Spirit slumber in a circle of faeries.

Dance oh changeling child,

In the court of a Faerie Queen,

to the music of forgetting

So she (i) may marvel

In the burning autumn

of human-warm lips.

Clothe fragile lithe body

In the finest sheaths of spider silk,

And admire its shimmer,

This-a-way and that-a-way.

A Faerie Queen shall have you forever

Oh changeling child.

Eternally yours in a sleep of

Nowhere nothing nevermore.

A brief star twinkles out.

A Faerie Queen upon throne

of lovely lichen.

Fell in love with a man-child.

Once upon autumn lips placed

An eternal spirit kiss.

Soul

        Mind

                  Heart

Kiss.

In the court of a Faerie Queen.
