The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

These first three are, as the title says, spawned from brief obsessions of mine, which each lasted until I got it down on paper. The first one was with mermaids, the second with faeries.

 

************

'Come, come,' she calls.

'Enter my watery halls.

Forget everything above

And leave behind those you love.

Come to the dark and deep,

And enter death's mysterious keep.

Come, mortal, unto your doom,

And snip your thread from Fate's eternal loom.

Come, come, come,' she calls.

 

*************

Eeerily enthralling,

Softly calling,

Darkly sweet,

Deadly deceit.

 

*************

I should like to tarry with the good folk,

And pay no heed to time.

To forget for just a while.

Is that such a crime?

 

I'll dance all through the night,

And drink away the day.

But days to weeks and weeks to months,

Soon a year has sped away.

 

But what if I were not to mind

The passing of my life?

To spend forever with the faeries

Would that be such strife?

 

*************

Don't know where to go

Where to turn.

What to love

And what to spurn.

 

Which road to take,

Which song to sin.

Which choice to make,

Which hat to bring.

 

Don't know how to cope,

How to deal.

Is there hope?

Is it real?

 

Someone help me,

Help me please.

I don't know how to be.

Am I you or am I me?

 

*************

Witching hour, witching hour.

Spells are brewing in every tower.

 

Lock your doors and windows tight,

Until the ending of the night.

 

Witches cackle and cauldrons bubble.

Tonight they'll brew heaps of trouble.

 

Hexes, curses, spells and jinxes,

What a bunch of devilish minxes.

 

When witching hour's come around,

You'll not want to be found.

 

Ungodly power's at it's height.

In the twelth hour of the night.

I notice your description doesn't mention what kind of feedback you'd like. I'd like to respond to your writings, but I'll hold off until I know what your feedback feelings are. (This is my way of asking your feelings on the matter :) )

If that was bothering anyone else, I've filled it in now. I prefer a pretty high level of feedback, so I know what to improve on, or what people liked about my work.
