Literature Text

Come away with me
And I will show you
A wellpond of silver
Pulled down from the moon

Come away with me
And I will show you
The sunlight at midnight
The starlight at noon

Come away with me
And I will show you
A kiss from a dead man
Drowned seven long years

Come away with me
And I will show you
A gown from a gallows-tree
Woven of tears

Come away with me
And I will show you
A necklace of rubies
All set in grave-lace

Come away with me
And I will show you
A song with no singer
A love with no face
A door with no hinge and
A time with no place
Caffeine-fuelled Fair Folk.

Again.

This will be redone, since it's heavy-handed and full of cliches -at the moment I'm just pleased there are words and they seem to be in some semblance of order.

Your poetry always takes me to another place entirely; I don't whether it's the way you write or the things you write about, or maybe even a combination of the two, but whenever I read your poetry I always feel like I'm being taken back in time and listening to a bard or something. :D That's very much meant as a compliment; I love reading things that make me feel as though I live in Middle Earth or somewhere similar. :giggle:
