Enraptured By You

I’ve danced with the ladies

drank with their lords

I’ve stood amongst gods

While they waged their wars.

Played with cleansing fire

Crafted from hands of ice

My words became thunder

Not once, but thrice.

Left nothing untouched

Known to the mortal world

Only the celestial wards

Hold keys I’ve yet to turn.

I’ve been to the bottom

Of the endless sea

Rode high a mountain

And saw eternity.

I’ve swam with the dolphins of Mars

Soared the Heavens on dragons’ wing

Spoke with the forest faerie

And heard the Sidhe sing.

I believe in true love

I’ve touched its magic

Barked at her moon

Drank of her madness.

But never before have I

Been sick without cure

I am beginning to fathom

The meaning of “enrapture.”
