"Fairy Tale, anyone?"
by Sunnyone

  
 
"Will you ever love me?"...he asked as they danced 'neath the
      light of the moon...
     Her long, dark hair hung thick in curls, from her lips came a
       mournful tune...
    But from those lips no answer came...it was as if she could
      not hear...
    and from her eye a single drop that he saw was a glistening
   tear...
  "I've waited for you so very long", he said as she danced 'round
     the bend...
     "I'll wait for you through time and space, through Hell and
       back again"...
    His words became a silver mist suspended in the air
  They never reached the maiden's ears, but vanished...
        to who knows where...
            And all this time, the maiden danced and hummed
        her mournful song...
     Not coming close within his reach, yet taking him along...
  They reached a place where moonbeams opened up to morning's
  sky.

She turned to him, she blew a kiss, and he knew
it was goodbye...
Then, suddenly, upon her back, he saw her fairy wings...
     All shiny gold and silver lace, made up of wondrous things...
    "You'll not remember me", said she, "as hard as you may try...
  but there will be another new love, beneath the stardust sky"...
     "I've granted you a wish this night, you'll get your heart's
     desire...
   she'll dance with you throughout your life and never will
        she tire"...
       He reached his hand to touch her as she rose into the sky...
  But mortal man he was that night,

    ...... And only fairies fly ......
