Ebony silk lay like dark Over purple velvet hills of sky And somewhere beyond that sunset Lay the magic.
Grass beneath my feet was vibrant, With life, and Faeries Lace Swayed like a dancer to and fro To the music.
Pipes and flutes in harmony sweet Intertwined to flow like caramel, Through the gloaming zephyers Elven melodies.
I bent, my gossamer pallid gown, It whispered, and I gathered an armful Of Faeries Lace a dancing. They smelt of heaven.
Their tiny flowers clustered, Like clouds around the moon Crimson veins on their delicate petals Like blood on snow.
And the stars peeped down at me Like spiky silver snowflakes, That glittered and seemed to sing Along with the elves.
White fire, as from the forge, Burning searing heat of metal But they seem as cold as frost So distant...
The moon is a bowl of light, Glowing with holy fire. And the man in it smiles At our joy.
I weave the fragran faery flowers Within my chocolate candy curls And it looks like I have set a crown Of silver thereon.
A faun of merry countenance Sees me from the dance. His smile lights the meadow brighter Than the moon.
His nimble hooves come prancing With hands outspread in greeting And he calls with silver voice For me to dance.
And so I go with him to dance Within the ring of charming elves And starlight, moonlight inerlace To light my perfect world.
Any comments are well appreciated 'cause I don't really fancy my hand at writing poems! And if you have any idea's for a better title I'd be grateful! Thanks...

Beautiful descriptions! It's really good. One thing you might change is the last line. "To light my perfect world" is... I don't know--- I would end the poem with a more... mysterious, should I say, line... It's hard to explain... well, it's up to you, so. Again, beautiful poem!

I must concurr I love the imagery, it sounds like a wonderful place. And umm yea as for the title I think it is just fine as it is. One thing I might suggest is doing something with the last lines of the stanzas, maybe keep them the same number of syllables or have similar meter. But still they are as good as the poem and trust me they're good.
