Lux Vitae Love Stories of The Fey:

“In the Clouds”



“What are you looking at Mum?”
“They come in the clouds you know”, she said to her daughter
“Every night, the same time, the numbers seem to grow, see there!
Up in the Clouds above the water”.
(Sydney Harbour)
The girl looked up with hesitation and fright, 
It was New Year’s Eve, 
too early for fireworks, 
no starburst explosives in sight -
It was that time when dark is not yet pitch dark, 
The clouds are translucent through luminescent moonlight
“There can you see?! The glowing, there in the clouds, 
Orbs, moving strange Lights all around…”

Both stood at the window a while, 
watched with strange delight giggled to dissuade fear
Then within the hour the strange lights had all disappeared.
Fireworks went off with a bang sheer delight
strange orbs quickly forgotten
Then off to sleep 
go mother and child
Polar Bear hugs 
Soft pillows 
Cool cotton
No nets for Mosquito
A little chat for a while 
Turn off the lights
They’re still in the land of 
Beta
Nowhere near counting
Sheep in a row
They settle in and just
go with the flow
All ok, all alright
Everything normal, as can be
They then begin to leave 
Beta 
And start counting the 
Zzzzzzeeeeeeeeeee's
Lights definitely out
1,2 & 3

Waves rolling on 
The Sea of Unfathomable Sorrow
Time short and 
Time borrowed
Dip in, swim through, go under
the waves
Avoid Sharks and the Locker of Davey J
They swim through the waves
Alpha
Theta
Delta 
REM 
Gamma
Far from the Shore of "Now"
On the bedside table 
a casually strewn
dog-ear marked book 
lies askew open-paged
titled, 
"The Scottish Gramarye, 
Divination and 
The Dark Art of Glamer"
Outside the window
lapping sound of real waves...
In dreams they are brave
'Tis Unknown territory 
way way out of sight
Pulse rates Bradycardian 
all is all right 
they're off and away
Eyelids non-moving,
eyelids shut tight
Moth's fluttering against the windows
Reflection of rippling
Moon on the Bay
Clouds spun sugar candy
baby soft cotton wool 
sprinkled Starlight

From another dimension 
"THEY" arrive
While the two sleep 
Kidnapped in their dreams 
Dropped through the Clouds
Strange Land of Tomorrow
Other dimension 
Mysterious world
Where Oceans are Clouds 
Leviathans jump high
Several moons, 
Opalescent Pearls in the sky
They are no longer
mere woman and girl 
still mother and daughter are seen
falling and tumbling now are 
Royal Princess and Queen
Dropped through their 
Ocean of Unfathomable Sorrow
Like floating leaves
Into the sharp waiting arms
of safe 
Trees
and
Dark Uncertain Tomorrow


(Lovejoy-Burton/May 2018)



“Come faeries, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame." 
William Butler Yeats

“From gray woods they come, on silent feet into a cone of light. A lifting note, O fair! O fleet! There the night through We take out pleasure, Dancing to such a measure As earth never knew.” 
Seumus O’Sullivan

"Faerie is a perilous land, and in it are pitfalls for the unwary, and dungeons for the overbold." 
J.R.R. Tolkein

“I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now? Reality leaves a lot to the imagination." 
John Lennon

“I think that people who can't believe in faeries aren't worth knowing.  I just think that alternate realities make you a good writer. If your work is any more than one dimension, you believe in faeries." 
Tori Amos

"I'm sure it was all just a bad dream."
