Ode to a Fairy Child
By JH Sayyar
1
Watching my Lady’s picture, I fall in a fit
I see, the Princess sits on the throne of gold,
Among the toddlers, fails my clever wit,
Babies’ teeth white, all young; not any old,
Around her throne playing toddlers and babies,
Stolen her humbly, I show her a toddler pic,
Staring at the pic said, “Sileni stole it from a lawn,
Of her mom from the cradle, but she sees,
Her wiled eyes, Sileni stole her; she was sic,
She wept not, slept all day, awoke at the dawn,”
2
She asked, I said, “My childhood fiancée.”
She said, “Her mom died since my niece,
She us my adopted child, she will never marry, “
Tell me, “How to bind in wedlock with peace?”
She said, “I feed her, bit my nipples, a naughty girl,
At last Sileni put back in her cradle last night,
Due to invert sleep, against fairy laws as well,
Beats all toddlers and babies all day like a churl,
Sometime flies, sometime sits, does me bite,
I love her eyes, I called her the princess belle,”
3
I asked, “How to marry, the Queen of Fairyland?”
She said, “Sileni gave her to eat pure honey;
She loves, collect the honey by own hand,
In a gold vial and give her in the eve; sunny,
While sleeping pour three drops at fixed time,
Its effect in her veins within seven days
Take birthday-ash; throw it on her soft bed,
She sleeps all day; will feel it Eden’s lime,
She forgets the fairy taste in mysterious ways,
She within a year; marries; do what I have said:’
