Jemia et Juliet - Part Deux

Titania clapped her hands gently, without a sound
Yet the result of this, was most profound
As the fairy flok, from within this great hall
Began singing, and dancing, there was much to enthrall

Yet despite all the sounds of great celebration
Titania's voice, was heard with great clarification
She spoke of wondrous things, now long past
But i was sworn to a secrecy, forever to last

Then we were talking, about a variety of things
About the once watery Moon, and Saturns rings
How the core of the Earth, was hotter than the Sun
And why did people have four fingers, but only one thumb

Oberon interceded, a rue smile upon his face
He had observed, with open heart, that at Juliet i gazed
He then spoke out, as his eyes shone an emerald green
"Your love of Juliet, is so easily seen"

Juliet spoke to Oberon, her soft lips parted
I love her my king, she said open hearted
Oberon, and Titania, looked each other in the eyes
Then Titania spoke "true love never dies!"

So we have decided, to let your love live
You have twenty-four hours, this we will give
A chance for you both, to be forever togetther
Be it here, or on Earth, or never! never! never!

But you must be in one place, or the other
You'll agree, if she truly loves you, or the other
These are the conditions, that we now place
Whether you agree, or disagree, do it with grace

And so we both knew, When we looked into our eyes
That true love like this, never ever dies
Juliet would come back to Earth, with me the next day
At that moment, We'd hopefully agree, where we would stay

We still had quite a long night ahead
We drank wine, ate, and into a merry dance we were led
At the end of the night, we were given a variety of berries
Specially produced, in the land of the fairies

We snuggled up close, in a gentle embrace
As i lay with her, face to face
I knew then, that she had taken my heart
Be here, or on Earth, we'd never ever part

We slept a peaceful, happy sleep, for quite a while
When i awoke, she was there with her smile
Wonderful birdsong, then filled the air
As i looked at Juliet, my fairy so fair

We were to spend, the light of day here
And twenty-four hours, to begin with sunset near
We would see quickly, as it began to unfurl
This twenty-four hours, on my home world

Nature is profound, beautiful here, and on Earth
As Gaia's magic, creates a host of fresh birth
A myriad of colours, and birdsong galore
And flying fairy folk, no longer folklore

A rather interesting, and curious fact
Fairies always danced in circles, to interact
Linking hands together, twirling side by side
Earth's powerful gravity, seemed magically defied

I glanced at these fairies, all in a whirl
It was quite hypnotic, i was lost in their world
There were hoots of laughter, and screams of delight
But we had to leave, before the night took the light

We were summoned, Oberon, and Titania, bid us adieu
As the clouds, and sky, were of a violet hue
We spread out our wings, making sure they were dry
As we soared upwards, to the beautiful sky

Escorted by a dragon, to show us the way
With it's magnificent wings, spread out in display
We followed our guide, his wings of great girth
As he led us back safely, to planet Earth

And as if by magic, we pirouetted down
Before we knew it, we were on solid ground
I'm still amazed, how their magic was able
But i found myself seated, at the very same table

And facing me, on the opposite seat
Sat Juliet, with her beautiful heartbeat
Although she had not wings, her smile was the same
Her eyes were glazed with an intrigue, i couldn't yet name

Now reversed, she was still the same height as me
And she showed no signs, of the land of fairy
She then kissed me, in her own beautiful way
As we  whispered sweet somethings, for the rest of the day

This strange choice, that we had to make
As we gazed upon a concrete lake
If we stayed there, or stayed here
All memories of us would disappear

So whichever world we would forsake
No memories of us, would lie in our wake
So no-one would miss us, or have any sorrow
No hearts would mourn, for the next tomorrow

Only we would know vaguely of our distant past
As it would only stay in our own memories to last
So family, and friends, from one world, or the other
Would forget our existence, including our mothers

So despite the powerful feelings, that we now had
There was a side to this magic, to make us feel sad
We sat there dwelling, for quite a while
As our emotions tried to reconcile

Yet suddenly, and curiously, we took each others hands
As we both reached a decision, betwixt the two lands
Both eaten the berries, and made our choice
Hoping we shared the same inner voice
