This poem just came to me.beleive it or not i was looking at a sultry Jessica Galbreth painting when this came into my head!It doesn't have a title yet,any suggestions??

She hid her sultry eyes

And put away her charms

A cover on the light

Of self that shone so bright

Of herself she left

A shadow of what was

What once sparkled

Now hidden in the gloom

A distant memory

The echo of herself

Let's hope she finds a guide

A beacon in the dark

Or else she may fade away

A whisper on the wind. 

I am not a poet although i like poetry.This came into my mind this evening,it is not faerie related but i thought i'd share.My bit of angst!

                        FLICKER

Flicker           
I see it once, and then it's gone
I think I have imagined it
I tell myself it was not there
Not to look for it

But I should have read the signs
Portents in the sky
Should have felt the warning in my bones
The whisper ‘not mine'

Flicker
In the corner of my mind
It did not lie
I chose to be blind

I cannot win this fight
I've seen it lost before
Wanted to deny the truth
But there's no denying what's in your eye
As they meet not mine

You share a look
Not for me
I feel I am intruding
I should have seen

Wishing for a life
That could not be mine
I won't live a lie
I will burn bright or not at all

So I walk away
The candle flame flickers back to life
Mine blown out
I leave with no goodbye
It is me that has flickered out
Out of time
I am out of time
