Fairy Folk

Fairy Folk

Ignoring those with little wings, 
will leave a curse that tightly clings. 
For, hidden in Manannan's cloak,
are the Island's fairy folk. 
So say 'hello' while on their land, 
or be victim to their meddling hands. 

A fairy known for her vampire traits, 
the Leanan Sidhe patiently waits. 
With tales and promises of success,
she lures in those who transgress.
As their love for her takes control,
she destroys their gullible soul.

A price that many men would pay,
for her to drain their heart away. 
So be aware of those with little wings,
as they are capable of unnatural things.
For, hidden in Manannan's cloak,
are the Island's fairy folk.
