Oengus' love-song to Caer

Oengus' love song to Caer

Who are you

Golden one?

That sings to me in dreams

Captures my heart

With your enchantments

Your face

With it's ethereal beauty

Slips in and out

Of my night vision

Beckoning me

Mocking me

For you give no direction

Only tease me

With sweet song

Fair face

Supple limbs

Dancing through my dreams

Only to flee

Gone

With the morning winds

Am I to be a traveler then

Searching for you

Swan-maiden

To the four corners

Would you have me an adventurer

Questing for your hand

A hero

Completing impossible feats

Of daring

To be worthy of your kiss

Better all that

Than this;

That I

Who ensnares lovers

Should be ensnared

I, the muse of yearning poets

Should yet write songs

Of yearning

Will you leave me

The dream-giver

To the mercy of my dreams?

Never did I think

To see myself thus

The weaver of love

Entangled in his own web

For all to see

And without

Any true wish

To be free.
