Oh The Green Fairy,
She'll weep for me,
And I'll feast upon her tears.
She is beautiful,
And tempting me,
I'll be dead behind my years.

For this town of mine,
She'll bury me,
In water that makes me shiver.
The waves are green,
They're burning me,
The Fairy cried this river.

I lie in death a martyr,
Her love has finished me,
I hold onto her wing, and gently sing,
God curse the Green Fairy!

  I have to admit, I didn't catch the absinthe reference the first time through. (Hey, I'm not a big drinker.) I did like the poem though, even more now that I fully understand it. Short, but sweet.

  I'm not really one for poetry, but this one I did enjoy.

  I love the Green Fairy.
  
  Overall I liked this but sometimes I feel you got a bit heavyhanded with the punctuation.
