Glad you posted some poetry...I especially like the one "We Can Be Found" about the wee folk.

Some men are drawn to oceans, they cannot breathe unless the air is scented with a salty mist. Others are drawn to land that is flat, and the air is sullen and is leaden as August. My people were drawn to mountains- Earl Hamner Jr.
Thank you both! I am especially fond of the Sidhe. And that poem of the wee folk just happened to come to me one night.....lol. Working on another piece of a young beautiful fairy who watches her lover from her tree perch. Will try to post it soon.

The lianhan shee is a fairy mistress of dreadful power, for she seeks the love and dominion of mortal men. Most men find that they cannot refuse her.
No one has ever described the Lianhan shee. But more likely no mortal can describe her; for she is desire itself.
As I sit and listen to some Celtic music....I was able to put together the piece I mentioned before. I hope everyone enjoys it. It's of a beautiful young fairy who discovers her true love. (Have to give credit to my daughter who helped me with the last line. ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Union by Chele
Gossamer wings flutter in the breeze As I sit upon my mossy perch up high Watching as you draw nearer in my sight
Your every move powerful & intriguing Strong arms to hold me tight A dimpled smile always shining bright
Your magic mesmerizes me Till the world around us fades away Lost in your eyes, n'er to be found
You sing to me a melody sweet and true Antics and humor make me smile e'ry day Laughter rolls from my lips as we play
A searing kiss steals my breath away A special warmth growing from inside out Till I all but shine like the sun
He embodies all that I've searched for Mending my heart, reviving my soul Our union...our love...a sight to behold
Thank you CelticRose....you are always generous with the compliments. Although it's not your typical 4 line rhyming....lol....I thought it wasn't half bad.
Will have to work on my next piece.....and of course, it will more than likely be of the sidhe.....or possible the selkies.
Thanks again CelticRose. I have read in many books where they were called "fae"s.....including one prominent author (whom I cannot remember). However.....(there's always a however-lol)....according to my Scottish friends the word "fae" means "from", not "fairy".
Here is one that was written to me, by someone who was/is very special to me (my soulmate).
How Much I Love You Jon P.
I was born Into this world alone Naked and without fear I learned a different way to hear
As a child I grew Among those I never knew Never knowing how to act I was fiction more than fact
But as I lived and grew, I found A desire yet unlived, unwound Naught that others would understand And yet so close within my hand
As years passed so did my want For that which other had not I sunk in upon myself in learning Never completely denying my yearning
Never thinking it could be true Prepared to walk Earth without you It almost came to pass Blinded by the glass...the rest see through
But life had left One chance to fly Nearly missed By a chance to die...a lonely life
Fate said though "You're not ready yet There is still someone You haven't met"
Now I realize Happiness was just a second away from despair Because the universe said "It does not end here.....for you"
I listened one last time Before I left My heart empty And bereft
I called You heard You are my word
Naked again am I I hear clear this time I am yours And you are mine
I love you...as I always will For it can not be otherwise There is no choice We are living destiny
This feeling I have inside I did not recognize at first Intense emotion flooded me That sated an ancient thirst
I walked awake, alone, alive, asleep Let others be my guide It was the only life I knew Thought I'd seen the brightest side
I see others hand in hand And wonder if they really know What they have If they have Or do they just think it's so
There is a word used constantly Everyday in life It is abused, used to deceive It's potential is denied
But I know this word so well again The memory has returned From ages past, from what we shared It's meaning I have learned
For every time I think of it I think of you as well It feels so strong inside of me That I can tell precisely Where in me my heart dwells
This and more tells me that The word inside is true And the feeling that comes with it Grows so much stronger too Every time at you I gaze....and say "Angel, I love you."
Has Heaven reserved, in pity to the poor, No pathless waste, or undiscovered shore? No secret island in the boundless main? No Peaceful desert, yet unclaimed by Spain? Quick, let us rise, the happy seats explore, And bear oppresion's insolence no more!
A Poem by Samuel Johnson This poem was written by Mr. Johnson of the scottish people coming to the new world. The New World at different times was called land of Ayllon, Guale, La Florida, Carolina and Ultimately Georgia. From the Book, Scottish Highlanders in Colonial Georgia,1735.
