Luna Centauri (Wings of Love)

A love story a mesh in fantasy

There beneath the willows of my softest delight
Lays a quaintly hamlet under my sight
In that small township Centauri was born
And this is the story of Centauri, the faun

When Centauri was but a wee colt and a half
He would hop, skip and trot to make me laugh
At night laze under the soft, willow trees
He would wait, till it was late, he would wait for me

'Luna, teach me to fly for I can nae reach ya'
'High in the sky my delightful teacher'
'Luna, oh why, why can I nae meet ya?'
'Moon, teach me to fly or I die, I beseech ya'

I tried so hard to send him love, did all I could
Kept my eye from above on his sweet hood
Whispers he longed for and dried him his tears
And yet he'd cry every night and did so for years

As he grew older he'd trot lands and swim wild seas
He planned to cup hands and his soul place at ease
His gait led him far, nymphs, they followed, too
And yet he'd neigh many naes, 'Luna, only for you'

'Oh Luna, teach me to fly for I have not wings'
'Teach me to sigh the way those love birds sing'
'Never say bye, Luna, your love I cling'
'Oh Luna, to you I give my all, everything'

He cried and I cried, oh I loved Centauri so
It's hard to get by when heartache overflows
My heart could not bare to see him alone
Now three nights per month the moon escapes from home

On the darkest of nights when the moon can't be found
Trust that Luna is so heavenly bound
She takes on the flesh of a womanly form
You'll find her in the arms of Centauri, her faun

There beneath the willows of my softest delight
Lays a quaintly hamlet in the dimmest of night
And there in the stables, true love is born
Oh, this is the story of Centauri, my faun
Who flies on the wings of love

This is so nice...I smiled all along when I read this...I love the idea of centaurs, nymphs, mermaids, dragons and unicorns...you have beautifully rhymed it too. Excellent work Solilokiss...send me some more of such poems if you have written...they are a delight!

Its always a pleasure.

A great poem, brimmed with a wonderful grasp of language. I loved every part of it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think "faun" in stanza 1, should be "fawn."
Also, I think stanza 3 should be a little more formal. The "ya's" sound awkward.

Despite these minor mistakes, this poem is rich and beautiful!

Thank you Gleb for the read, and thoroughly good critique. It means a lot as it helps my writing to grow. I will see about making those changes shortly. Best regards, Sol.
