Disclaimer: Luke Skywalker belongs to George Lucas.
He holds the tired, forgotten ones
Close to a loving heart that beats
With joy at the love of them
Love went long away from him
And we sought to fill that wound
With our devotion, to balm him
Awe, reverence, these he knew
But the love of a woman, that
Is one thing he knew little of
And with dearest joy he held me
I am close to his sweet form
Ever held in eventide dream
Giving peace of love to mine
My love, my life, my Single Jedi
His perfect golden head lies warm
On my shoulder, his sapphire eyes
Are closed in thrill of holding near
One who loves him more than life
One who would live in the moon
And stardust paths of dreams
So long as to walk by the side
Of the gentle, loving, Single Jedi
His full red lips lie just apart
And begging to be kissed dear
The lips bestowed a million kisses
On me and many maidens other
All maidens who walked the dreams
All maidens who followed their love
The maidens of the Single Jedi
His long black cloak of his rank
Is full and warm about me in the night
No chill of the starlanes in free dream
Can penetrate the thick, soft folds
Or banish the heat of a small lean form
My beautiful love of dream, my Single Jedi
His saber hangs unheeded, all at
The belt about his slender, graceful hips
Sad and solemn he is, in his duties
His innocence stolen, his perfection marred
He is innocent again in his dreams
He is a man who loves, fiercely there
Fiery and innocent, my Single Jedi
My angel, his kiss is a divine gift
Given in the mystic light of dream
I have no knight in shining armor
No, I have a knight in black robes
Defender mine from dark dream kind
He is lover too there, my Single Jedi
He is blessed by all held divine
A master of marvelous powers
A restorer, protector, defender
Hero to a thousand cultures
Yes, he walks in parades in dream
There too he walks in processional
And the shooting stars themselves hail
The love found by both knight and maid
In dreams, in the land of possibility
There I walked by his side, the Single Jedi
To his glory are monuments built
But there is no statue of gold or stone
With higher value to me in dream than
The arms of the man inside the hero
Not hero, not master, not teacher
Not even the brave Knight, no
I hold dear the man who walked
On rainbow roads of shared dream
And held my hand, and felt my pain
So little as it was against his own hurt
I hold dear the man who holds me tight
Who promises eternity to dream this
An eternity to dream of my Single Jedi
And too I care for the boy within, all
Shining and naieve, bright as dawn
Gilded with suns and sands, haloed
In all natural, radiant gentility
The farmboy who was before and
Beneath all masks ever he wore
The secret truth that makes so sweet
The eventide dream at the side
Of the man who in dreams I love
My sweet boy still, my Single Jedi
The boy in sands well-loved
All in white, haloed in purity, truth
Creamy-skinned chest and shoulders
Emerging from a slipping tunic
He is so dear, so innocent
Of his own beauty and looks
My golden-blonde love of dreamtide
Who never knew love in waking
Knew me and my love in dreams
And now he spreads golden wings
His stardust wings of dreams
He soars, and his fingers slip free
Of mine, and he is leaving
Leaving behind the love of dreams
For a love found in the waking
He is going, and the suns of dream
The light, the shooting stars and moons
All are fading without the master
The master they were born to shelter
And I am alone in eternal night
The starlined paths of eventide I walk
Ever now alone, no feet follow my path
No one by my side on the processional
The vaults and arches are empty now
The shooting stars are fading as he rises
He soars above me, soon to go forever
His wedding is nigh, he came tonight
To say goodbye forever, no longer
Will he be free to follow romance
In the sanctity of dream, he has made
His choice, and I am not her
With tears, I look up to my love
The man I thought would be
Forever in dream for me to love.
My love is fading, my Single Jedi
And I bade him final farewell
The sky closed about him, and darkened
No more will he return to me
Perhaps a man who yet loves me
May someday come back to dream
But he is not my Single Jedi
Nor will he ever be again
His heart is forever hers now
And so he cannot return anymore
Now it is the Married Jedi who comes
And though he may be tender
He is not the man who ached
To be loved in the eventide dream
He is not the man who held me
Like I would melt away from him
Goodbye to my Single Jedi
My Luke has changed forever.
