Fairy Ring

The dew had barely kissed the Earth
when twilights whisper wooed our hearts.
The stars lanterned our lucid path-
our eyes piercing the wild, cold dark.

The fresh, soft green of damp forests
flew fast under our quickened feet-
and lightning struck between our breasts
rekindling ancient, naked heat.

We frolicked in the mushroom ring
the red teeth circling round the ground;
our bodies burned, and bloomed, and glowed-
it was the fairae we had found!

Their wings were white and ruby red
with neon veins butterfly blew-
their little hearts cried with delight
just from the sight of me and you!

They laughed and kissed our soft bare flesh
and told us of their favorite game-
to swim beneath the lily pads
and ride the frogs till they were tamed.
We watched with awe as they dove down
and broke the bright amphibians-
they brought us pearls that they had found
and dropped them in our open hands!

But Dawn rolled over in her bed,
her yawn lit up the twinkling sky-
so all the fairy's kissed our lips
and sadly sang a quick goodbye.

Their wings moved like the hummingbirds
and darted past our quiet ears.
they flew into the mushroom ring-
at twilights death they disappeared.
