"...Beloved of my inmost heart,
Come some night, and soon,
When my people are at rest,
That we may talk together.
My arms shall encircle you
While I relate my sad tale,
That your soft, pleasant converse
Hath deprived me of heaven.
The fire is unraked,
The light unextingushed,
The key under the door,
Do you softly draw it.
My mother is asleep,
But I am wide awake;
My fortune in my hand,
I am ready to go with you."
He waits, wondering at the simple beauty of the stonework; at how the hands of time have carressed it's univiting image into something so appealing to the eye, so tempting to the
tread of hesitant feet. His hand pauses on the patchwork moss
taking comfort from its' soft surface, feeling the warmth of recently passed sunlight, slowly fading in light shadows. The tree so alive in stolen radiance spreads itself to the summer afternoon sky in a greeting as old as time, reverent and enraptured, bathing in brilliance.
He smiles at every welcoming portent, at all the night shadow dancing firelit smiles, that brought him to this moment of lost time. This precursor of merging worlds, where he might find a love beyond lore or a tragedy for future legend.
He stops; eyes falling on the wrought iron gate, the smile fading from falling eyes, glancing of disbelieving parted lips before it dissappears into the cooling shadows. He glances in the direction of the modest dwelling just out of sight searching for her face, a hint of her fiery hair through dark lonely windows and finds nothing. Was this some mischance some unintended act born of ignorant innocence. No, she must have known.
To the Fair Folk iron is anathema.
Head hung low he walks towards the darkened tangle of forest
slowly fading back into the ethereal, lost to human eyes forever.
And she waits...
How do you find such beautiful places at just the right time.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
