The Festival

The festival calls me away, away,
and by the fair Lakeview I'll stay, I'll stay;
My lover would be that transient boy
but he will be leaving, and he will be coy,
so festival's air and the traveler's joy
will take me, oh take me away.

The dust on my feet will remain, remain,
my head's music, that last refrain, refrain,
will sing to me sweetly and so remind
constantly of the things I left behind.
Those doors open seldom, and I may find
that you cannot, cannot remain.

If one day you should not return, return,
though memories saddened will burn, will burn,
that festival's too rife with amity,
the stage player's smiles are happy and free,
and I will keep dancing, and dancing with glee,
for long, as long I can return.

Sigh... well, my friends would know what this is about, but for those who don't, it's about the Louisiana Renaissance Festival.

I was watching a video or two recorded there and it made me feel all reminiscent and it sort of inspired me. This sounds a little like a song, which I meant it to be, and maybe I'll put a tune to it one day, but for now it's simply this: a comparison between two very main attractions of the Ren Fest:

The fest itself and its wonderful memories and the great, unexplainable love that I hold for it, and the boy that works there that I suppose I have a thing for. Nysa, you shut up. We're in the same boat. >:C

Anyway, it does have a fixed form, and it's strange for a romance poem but it is one, even if it's more directed at the event than the person. If you want to make a song out of it I'd be delighted, just let me know and show it to me. xD

Aww, I miss Ren Fest too.
We should definately bring back Ye Fair Ladies. This would be a great song to sing and put a tune to.
