Unseelie gardens

have you walked the unseelie gardens
where despair twines round your hair?
have you looked into your own depths
to find your soul dancing there?

ware the flowers of evening
opening in the death of the sun;
do not trap yourself in illusions, child
lest your life come undone.

have you walked in the unseelie gardens
heard the dissonance of dark in your ear?
beware lest the unseelie queen catch you
and keep you wandering forever in her snare.

ware the flowers of evening
being born in the uncertain light;
they will trap your senses with beauty
and shut you away in the night.
