Night Cap

One summer evening in the realm of Fae The minstrel passed some nectar Nyx's way She cordially invited him to stay His lyric flowed like liqueur to her lips She quelled her desert thirst with frequent sips She placed her offer at his fingertips Taken by a kiss of Nyx A trinket in her bag of tricks Briefly their elixirs mix He took her home to meet his mythic beast The little critter had to be released He laid a table for the bitter feast She served an aperitif to wet his fife He whet her appetite and strummed his strife He ate his heart out, she licked the knife Smitten by a smack of Nyx The memory of her lips, he licks That little gypsy's juju sticks, yeah He croons the tune as he constructs the cage The fool, he frets up on a makeshift stage His ancient vintage finally comes of age And he just can't contain his bacchanal rage Libations pouring freely from his song Quicksilver rising in his pagan prong And far too little flux for far too long Makes wrong seem right and right seem oh so wrong He raised his empty glass in emphasis His quest could be for nothing less than bliss He took the path to her Kallisti kiss She led his horse up to the gates of Troy She pulled her evening shade and twirled his poi She rocked his little world and girled his boy Graced with but a trace of Nyx Nails fell from his crucifix Goddess bless the pixie chicks No more than a pinch of Nyx Erato gives the boy his fix A nine to realign his six Yet another kiss of Nyx The court astrologer predicts He's counting Saturn's tocks and ticks Yeah, yeah, yeah!
