The fatal fool, his mind a void
In dark depression, dances.
His touch is death, the final kiss
Of peculiar romances.

The fatal fool, amusement cold
Lies deep within his heart.
With pathos deep, his love is sold
To the purchasers of art.

Blind fools!  Quoth he, do you not see
True love cannot be bought
As you bind the Mother with rivers of stone
That you really must be fought?
Iambic, dactylic and all the rest are a pain in the arse. I'm not totally happy with this, but....

I also know that the Amadaun-na Briona was a trickster figure, similar to Loki, in Irish mythology, but this is my take on Him.

If anybody wants to see my poetic licence, it's in the post...
