NIMUAES STORY
In the darkest reaches of the night
Nimuae tends her vigil fire alone
and sees again within its flames
the happy days that now are gone.
They were young then, she and her Lord,
and this forest was all their world.
They lived and loved there, unaware
of their fates – to be unfurled.
Her gentle Lord awoke her heart,
taught her wisdom, truth, and love.
Lying sated in each others arms at
night – they watched the stars above
and he would tell her endless tales
of how the zodiac was formed,
and of all the Gods that ruled the
sky, before the earth was born.
His loving soul touched her soul
as his kisses warmed her heart,
they truly believed they had forever,
that they never would be apart.
but, Queen Mab watched and envied,
her prowess was on the wane
and she hungered for Merlins magic
to make her strong again.
So Mab turned upon this forest
and invoked a closing charm –
if Merlin once should leave here
then he never could return.
Mab set King against King, she
raised a cruel and bitter, bloody war,
knowing that Merlin was bound
to go, to defend his King - Arthur.
Nimuae could have warned Merlin,
could have begged for him to stay,
but knew his King had need of him –
so she watched him ride away.
With her heart in a thousand pieces
she watched him - out of sight,
and saved all her bitter tears
for the long and lonely night.
Never more to feel the gentle kiss
that used to start and end her day.
Never more the arms so strong and
warm that kept the world at bay.
Never more to wake within those
arms after nights in loves embrace,
and never more to hear his voice,
touch his lips, or see his face.
Mab thought to entrap Merlin,
once away from Nimuaes care,
to seduce him into using all
his magick powers for her.
But Merlins heart was loyal
both to Nimuae and his King,
he turned his mighty will against
Mab – and she vanished into nothing.
In the darkness of the forest
Nimuae tends her lonely vigil fire,
and hopes that Queen Mabs fall
will restore her hearts desire.
Now that Merlins tasks are over,
with Mab, and his King both gone,
may he now return to Nimuae-
or does the malice linger on ?
(C) Nimuae 2007.

Thank you so much. I was not certain if the legend of King Arthur was popular over there.
