The Unseelie Sprite
Wings
dip delicate frame
spun through
winters blue and quiet landscape
patterns of snowflake
left to glass
kiss my cheek
as a rose flush full in color
crystalline secret
whispers
by buttery spirit
thaw my eyes
from hidden warmth
while calling out as cuer
the design, the dance
no eyes more beautiful
rests this tortured soul
twirl encircled
clasp with reverie
azure chambers
loft to vermillion
breath
i no longer hold
swift she leads
frost on toe
pointy-eared
alive
amidst glacial erratic
transported form
kept
to a world of magic
The circle and stone
grip
time exists within her
stolen
mere moments
those
once before
no other world spins
glitter
nor diamond
ambit sphere
i in captive
held with no restraint

Thank You so Much Dear Queen!!! What a compliment-I Love that spelling-I would have used it, had i known of it-Thank You for it!!! Such magic-it is rare these days
Re. The Unseelie Sprite
My friend,....casting yet another mystical spell...fascinating, lyrical lines luring us into a bewitching, wintry realm of beauty!
This reminds me of the tales i heard when i was a child....the Irish legends of the Sidhe.These 'sprites' were also known to be quite devious at times--especially regarding mortals. They would cleverly use their majik to transport humans into their realm, and then to return most without clear memories of their adventure.
Your third stanza made me think about the irish legend of humans luring the sidhe---and other wee folk--into our world with offerings of various kinds of butter. Not sure if this one is similar to any that you might know :)
I am keeping this one on special shelf....so that i can be spirited ithin your enchanting realm....time and time, again
Intriguing Ink--Indeed !!

Ahhh DE Thank You for the RL-Humbled!!! Indeed "Butter" it crosses through the lore of these through many cultures...One from Queen's country (Norway) They would smear butter upon their door's. Indeed Malevolent at times-but only if You haven't befriended One. They are loyal-and yes lost in the circle...These myths have intrigued me since a very young age-They will Always be in my life!!! Appreciate Your keen mind and time!!!
