Fae Folk Dance

Ivy draped portal
entrancing
a soul
within a sun
enclaved in gold
made by the Fae
those wondrous beings

Is this real
what I'm seeing?

A song of joy
so sweet to the ear
Earthbound souls
never will hear
a veil
it panes
the sound
of the Fae
forever and always
to this very day

Faeries dancing
on the air
firefly’s lanterns
glistening
in pairs
shining bright
a magical trail
up the hill
and down the vale
eclipsing the moon
making her pale

Every night
no matter the weather
the folk do dance
a love song
together
binding and sealing
a hearts embrace
shows of feeling
a loves true face

Eternally joined
filigree veins
gold and ametrine
glows and wanes
the heart it encases
overflows pure joy
for hearts robbed
and broken
the Fae
refill with joy

Fae chevaliers
of true loves heart
for true loves’ trinity
the dance
the song
for love…

This I think ...

a stunning write--- but then what do I know about good poetry? But despite my pitiful rhetorical confession, I note your exquisite use of apostrophes, your bold/versatile language/vocabulary, your sentence fragments full of life, your ... well, all the rest. I feel blessed, relieved, that such things are so present with this ... with you. If I were author/-ess, I'd be tempted to remove the first word. Just start the piece with ivy draped window. You might not be, though. Tempted, that is. After all, we are, you and I, different faeries---though giant we may be---on planet sides far apart. Thanx much, Chuck PS: As per your request, how about "folk dance" or "portal song earthbound dance"? One of these two may strike your fancy. Or prod your brain to an else.

Post reread, a random ...

thought strikes me somewhere tween the ears. Probably out of range of GPS. --- As to Ivy draped portal entrancing a soul within a sun enclaved in gold made by the Fae those wondrous beings Is this real what I’m seeing ? how about a stanza break as here: Ivy draped portal entrancing a soul within a sun enclaved in gold made by the Fae those wondrous beings Is this real what I’m seeing ? --- Oh, and one other thing: Is this real what I’m seeing? (Note I've placed the question mark closer to seeing. Although certainly I'll understand if she's shy about such a close-in cuddling.) Chuck

I really like stuff about

I really like stuff about faerie dances. whenever I think of them, it's always so graceful and light, like leaves blowing in the wind. You used some beautiful imagery in this, I can imagine how amazing it would feel to be right in the heart of it.
