sweet goodbye to my fair princess
hail to all you hold esteemed
I am wrought in mystery
and wanting for my home
wrapped weary in your wonders winged
simply stated royal farewell
to these loving walls I’ve known
and in secret stealth
by night’s sacred veil
I so furtive too was throned
but only now in darkness fading
I hold these memories sweet
in wonderment cold
and disbelief jading
I so subtle make retreat
in other times and other realms
I might have held you all too real
but it’s only in clouds
of fantastic mist
that your company I steal
