She floated past in a dream as sweet as wine skipping over stonewalls around his heart an enchanted dance on the edges of his mind alluringly tempting a new life to start She laughed at his awe as she drifted along and threw open the windows of his castle keep romancing with a light and lovely night song she landed gently on gold slippered feet Spinning and whirling around the darkened room singing a silver song of longing and love the light of her voice dispelling all gloom as the stars from heaven shot down from above The room grew and filled with a shimmering light as the rising mist over the sleeping earth grew she took his hands and lifted off into the night up to where clouds were fringed in moonlight blue His fear was overcome by her lithe grace knowing the only spell that kept him aloft as her wings spread like a virgins lace was in her small hands strong but soft She flew him over the dank and lonely moors surrounding a castle now dark and small with it mossy walls and tight drawn doors it stood so many wars and never did fall When she turned her faire face to him he knew as her wings enclosed them in the sky that night the time had come for living life anew her kisses were sweet and full of delight Then landing softly upon a glades misty ground a startling thing he began to see she stood him alone and began to dance around as her gaze became as deep as the sea In the moons soft light shinning through the trees her eyes shinning brightly with a sudden spark her wings fell and floated to the ground like leaves as she so softly sang Now you have my heart Then she turned and pointed to his castle by the sea, smiling shyly, she sang, Now its you sir that shall carry me.

Enchanting, with a sense of perpetuityt
