The Unicorns: The Land of Olde Fairie

I won't believe in Unicorns,

I learned the truth today

The dreams that come, with snowy manes

Are stars that fade away.

-

There's no such thing as Unicorns

I now believe that's true

The magic caught in equine eyes

Is not for me and you.

-

The mystery of the snow white beast

The alicorn aglow

Is only meant for ageless minds

Not for us to know.

-

Behind the wintry darkness

And twilights special light,

The harsh bright glare of middle day

Blinds mortals from it's sight.

-

I once believed in Unicorns, felt special,

Warm, you know

-

But twilights strange and ethereal,

One touch and it will go

Fade back into the darkness, to rest behind the veil

Then melt back into never,

Where magic still prevails.

-

One foot I left in twilight,

One touch of warm caress

Of fine white down of horse's mane

A smell of magic's flesh.

-

To taste the scent of summer

Warm spice and magic furl

The lights of Fairie Dancer

Above their Fairie hill.

-

Mere mortal of this island

My shackles, flesh and bone

Will hold me back forever

From this my one true home.

-

I did believe in Unicorns

I did begin to see

The world that came to call me

The land of Olde Fairie.

-

But shackles are my mortal bones

And shackles they will be

Til Fairie lights will fade away

In the land of Olde Fairie .
