Emerald Empress

- Emerald Empress -

If love is a maiden, then I am: she incarnate!
In palaces of emerald beyond enchantment,
Where I am queen and empress, so intimate.
For my people love me beyond all sentiment,
And my heartbeat is that of a whole empire…
Faerie land of one thousand and one delights!
And to know them all would mean to expire,
From the beauty and grandeur of the sights…
Which only I can show to one thusly initiated:
In lovely arts, which only my hand may teach!
I am the greatest sorceress, long anticipated,
Yet whose kingdom only the few might reach.

Beyond azure mountains and lavender sands…
Where trees sing and where wisps may roam,
In faerie rings hidden in deeply forested lands:
Beyond all these things I have made my home.
In emerald attire, to match my emerald throne,
I wait to work my magic, to spread such joy…
As a symphony playing on high celestial tone!
Just as a child is oft one with their favored toy,
I am oft one with my fair enchanted kingdom.
Let me delight you, let me cause you to sing…
For, in my realm, our song is one of freedom!
I grant you, this gift, for such is mine to bring.

If love is a maiden, then I am: she embodied!
In palaces of emerald beyond soaring spires,
Where all spirits are those who magic freed…
To bask in all the glory of my sorcery’s fires!
And my heartbeat is that of the realm eternal,
Faerie land of dreams and of nightmares too.
Paradise, beyond the divine, and the infernal!
Let me show you where fantasy is made true.
For my beauty and my grandeur seduces all,
Yet my heart is for one alone, whom I adore.
I am the emerald empress, with a siren’s call,
And, I have so many enchantments in store!
