THE LORD AND THE LADEE'

by Anne P Murray LadeeAnne   Sep 3, 2008


The Lord and the Ladee rode into the night
Her arms entwined around him tight
The horse they rode was dark, glistening black
He majestically carried them both on his back
They rode with the wind and the shadows of dark
For the night holds secrets deep in their hearts

"Mystical spells, from the Earth and the Sea",
said the Lord of the Night, to the Elfin Ladee'
"Spells", she whispered? "From the Mystic and Old"
"Use them well", he said, "Be brave, be bold"!
Cobweb Silk and Dust from the Stars

Magical Promises, from lands afar
"Have no fear", said the Lord to the Elfin Ladee'
As they rode through the night so dark and shady!
"No longer my love, will you be alone
Magical love, together we've sown"
With thundering hooves they rode into the night
The Moonbeams golden, the Stars glittering bright

With Ritual Magic of Sorcerers and Elves,
Soft, green moss and bewitching spells
They rode hard and fast into the night
Guided by the Stars and the soft Moon-lite
His hair black as midnight, hers golden as the sun
Their spirits and souls were joined together as one

"We'll soon be there", said the Ladee' to the Lord
"We'll find Moonbeam Faeries and Elves with swords"
The Magical Spells, the 'Enchanted Scrolls'
They carried them tightly in Mystical Rolls
The Lord and the Ladee' held the Key
This Lord and Ladee' of Mystery

They carried Magical Stones and Celtic Spells
They were very wise they would use them well!
The Moon Beam Riders had traveled to Earth
To bless each child at it's moment of birth
The Lord and the Ladee' rode swiftly down the road
There were Leprechauns and Pixies in the Forest of Ode

They must quickly make haste before the night turned around
Fire Faeries and Star Babies danced merrily on the ground
Dream Weavers and Sandmen scurried joyfully through the woods
Carrying bright coloured baskets filled with Magical goods

A Woodland Wedding for the Bride and the Groom
In The Garden of Ode', under the Stars and the Moon
'Faerie Bride Marina, with hair spun of gold
Leprechaun Groom Avid, so brave, so bold
Marina's gown was gleaming, starbright white
As Avid the Brave One, stood beside her in the night

They all joined together singing songs of great glee
Then the Lord and the Lady rode in with the Key
Magic and Music echoed through the night air
As The Lord and The Ladee joined the Tiny Pair
The Magical Garden, rang out with dance and song
As Marina and Avid pledged their vows to belong

Elves, Gnomes, Wizards, Moon Babies and Pixies
Water and Earth Spirits and a Faerie called Trixie
All dancing in the Garden where Wizards dwelled.
Gardens filled with Faerie Dust, Moss and Bluebells

Slowly the twilight started slipping away!
As they sang and danced in gleeful play
Then all of a sudden, quite out of the blue
In the blink of an eye away they all flew!
There was the fluttering of wings in the night sky
As Faeries, Pixies and Elves began to fly, fly, fly
Their Silvery wings glistened just like Stars in the night
As they magically ascended into Mystical flight

I know you believe in Magical Spells
I know you believe in Faeries and Elves
Some night, the Sandman might whisk you away
To the Lands of Mystery...
Where you just might want to stay!

    Thank you for your comments and input. I appreciate it. I used the 'old english" way of spelling faery, rather than the standard fairy. I thought it lent itself more into 'old tradition', as opposed to the modern way of spelling it.

    You have taken me on an enchanting journey with your words, I enjoyed it immensely.

    "The Lord and the Lady, rode into the night~
    Her arms entwined around him tight.
    The horse they rode was dark, glistening black.
    He majestically carried them both on his back.
    They rode with the wind and the shadows of dark.
    For the night holds secrets deep in their hearts."

    My favorite stanza, so dark and mystical. I love your rhyming here and throughout this poem.

    "His hair like midnight, hers like the sun."

    hers should be her's.

    "Magic and music echoed through the night air"

    I would change "night" to "evening" or something to that extent. Just because you repeat "night" a lot in this poem, and I think you could make it more interesting by using synonyms. Just an opinion.

    "All dancing in the Garden where the Wizards dwelled.
    Made of Faerie Dust, soft green moss and bright bluebells."

    "Faerie" should be "Fairy". But such vivid imagery is written here, beautiful descriptions.

    But what I really liked about this piece, was the imagination put into it. And throughout this poem, you told a wonderful story that was such fantasy. Keep writing, always and forever....
