Faye

I don't trust myself with you  
Your beauty like the dripping of forests leaves    
After the burst of summer rain  
The leaves now deeper green and glistening    
Beneath the forest eves  
With a pitter pat of water    
Dripping leaf to leaf  
In the stillness of the air  
Swept clean with freshening breeze  
Deep scented with wet wood and humus  
As sun breaks through in scattered beams  
Dappling forest floor  
As grey clouds drift away  
Playful in the half light    
And drinking in the shadows  
Lies the forest watchful  
So like the dancing of your eyes  
   
So beautiful to me  
As if you alone could be perfection  
Of every thought the heart conceived  
The mystery of shadow into light revealed  
The true home where forest path leads  
Do you wander amid the woodlands  
Like the Faye amongst the trees  
Lithe and fair  
With ethereal air  
As if high born set apart  
I know of a fairy circle  
And a moon pool that reflects the stars  
Of paths that wind and wend their way  
Where deepest shadows are  
   
Do you dance there in the moonlight  
Do you sing lost songs of stars  
Teach me of wood craft magic  
Such as found within your heart  
Swim dark pools in covert glades  
Water glistening on our skin  
Lead me to mossy stone circle  
To consumate our hearts  
Let me revel in the Faye in you  
And let my heart believe
