<Kyrae> for fear of their eyes 

<Kyrae> I cannot stand

<Myrnnh> Looking inside myself

<Myrnnh> I sometimes see joy

<Myrnnh> and sometimes far

<Myrnnh> I see things past

<Myrnnh> and things yet to come

<Myrnnh> and a host of emotions

<Myrnnh> that are packed tight

<Myrnnh> like cotton in a pill bottle

<Myrnnh> I spend time

<Myrnnh> pigeonholing ideas

<Myrnnh> and living each day

<Myrnnh> as it comes

<Myrnnh> My heart does not always agree

<Myrnnh> with my head

<Myrnnh> Yet sometimes...

<Myrnnh> they are so much in touch with each other

<Myrnnh> it astounds me.

<Myrnnh> And all this]

<Myrnnh> makes me who I am

<Myrnnh> when looking inside myself.

<Miari>   far away, and alone, like me.

<Miari> Why does time seem to linger so long

<Miari>   when desire wishes it swiftly to sweep.

<Miari> .

<Miari> Forever.

<Miari> It seems like forever.

<Miari> Until I can smell you and touch you

<Miari>   breathe you in like a fragrant morning.

<Miari> And oh, how fragrant some mornings can be.

<Miari> I remember those mornings with senseless delight.

<Miari> And smile.

<Miari>   knowing, that forever only seems that way.

<Miari> And, if I don't concentrate on every moment spent away from you, that..

<Miari> Forever will be yesterday.

<Sentinele> Whistful Dreams by Lothloriend



<Sentinele> Curled upon his hidden horde

<Sentinele> The dragon sturs and mummbles to himself

<Sentinele> His eyes blink, no longer staring into emptiness

<Sentinele> To survey the scene before him lain

<Sentinele> All around is gold and silver

<Sentinele> Treasures stored from years gone by

<Sentinele> There the crown of a long forgotten empire

<Sentinele> Here the breastplate of a brave knight of eons ago

<Sentinele> Yet none of it doe please his eye

<Sentinele> In a sudden rage he sends his claws deep into the pile

<Sentinele> And scatters it all around 

<Sentinele> His bellow echoes through the cavern

<Sentinele> Which even in its magic argent light  

<Sentinele> Is as cold as ice

<Sentinele> A cold not of body, but of spirit

<Sentinele> Tears well and fall upon the rock

<Sentinele> Glistening, sparkling as they cascade 

<Sentinele> Only to shatter upon the marble floor.

<Sentinele> With great heaving of his sides the dragon

<Sentinele> Rises and sings his sorrows

<Sentinele> The sound rings out

<Sentinele> But is soon swallowed by the echoes

<Sentinele> Which distorted, bent

<Sentinele> Horrible to the ear

<Sentinele> Come back tenfold and crush his heart

<Sentinele> Tightening round his heart with a deathlike grip

<Sentinele> In pain he carries on

<Sentinele> To sing his loneliness

<Sentinele> Once more in rage he lashes out

<Sentinele> Clawing grooves into the wall

<Sentinele> The sound of echoes carries on, 

<Sentinele> Fading into the silence of once before

<Sentinele> His sobbing carries on as he sits down upon his horde.

<Sentinele> His once magnificent platinum hide 

<Sentinele> Now lackluster 

<Sentinele> Barely glints in the light

<Sentinele> His heart heavy

<Sentinele> As he thinks upon his loneliness

<Sentinele> His isolation from the world

<Sentinele> Forgetting about the food brought before him

<Sentinele> He closes his eyes and dreams

<Sentinele> Whistful dreams.

<Sentinele> --- End ---

<Shadow-Dancer> The Dancer



<Shadow-Dancer> I watched her break her shell,

<Shadow-Dancer> Gangling, awkward, newly hatched.

<Shadow-Dancer> I saw her mother's pride,

<Shadow-Dancer> And worried when she fell.

<Shadow-Dancer> In her mother's eyes, she was dancing.

<Shadow-Dancer> I watched her as she grew

<Shadow-Dancer> Slim and lovely, taking wing.

<Shadow-Dancer> I saw  her gleaming scales

<Shadow-Dancer> Blaze like gems as she flew.

<Shadow-Dancer> In the skies above, she was dancing.

<Shadow-Dancer> I watched her as she soared,

<Shadow-Dancer> And loved, with all my heart.

<Shadow-Dancer> I saw her smouldering eyes,

<Shadow-Dancer> Desired, loved, adored.

<Shadow-Dancer> Even in passion, she was dancing.

<Shadow-Dancer> I watched her as she died

<Shadow-Dancer> And held her, one last time.

<Shadow-Dancer> I felt her spirit leave,

<Shadow-Dancer> I raged, and screamed, and cried.

<Shadow-Dancer> In some other realm, she was dancing.

<Shadow-Dancer> I watched her as she slept

<Shadow-Dancer> Beside me, in my dreams.

<Shadow-Dancer> I saw her once again,

<Shadow-Dancer> As i do each night. I wept.

<Shadow-Dancer> In my memory, she is dancing.....

<Shadow-Dancer> END

<Myrnnh> ---------------A Lovers Pain-------------

<Myrnnh> I wonder where his mind is at

<Myrnnh> I know it's not with me.

<Myrnnh> His focus is so far away

<Myrnnh> I know not what he sees.

<Myrnnh> .

<Myrnnh> The pain reflects deep in his eyes

<Myrnnh> and tears apart his heart.

<Myrnnh> The troubled look that crossed his brow

<Myrnnh> doth rend my soul apart

<Myrnnh> .

<Myrnnh> How I do wish that I could soothe

<Myrnnh> away that heartfelt pain

<Myrnnh> And ease the tension from his face

<Myrnnh> His demons would be slain.

<Myrnnh> .

<Myrnnh> I look ahead-of things to come

<Myrnnh> I'd chance his troubled past

<Myrnnh> to give him love and tenderness

<Myrnnh> a future that would last.

<GryphonKS> Life



<GryphonKS> Waves in the ocean always in motion,

<GryphonKS> Constantly changing with unforeseen ranges,

<GryphonKS> Sudden squalls interrupting the glassy green,

<GryphonKS> A stick of driftwood traveling the currents,

<GryphonKS> with only the tide as a cryptic guide.

<GryphonKS> The rise and the fall of the sun and the moon

<GryphonKS> marking the passage of time.

* Miari also says, I really do have some that aren't all about relationships... but...

<Miari> Here goes }:Þ



<Miari> --- Can't think of a title ---

<Miari> Wide awake, as usual

<Miari> in the wee hours of the morning

<Miari> I seem to find myself in this place quite often

<Miari> since we've been apart

<Miari> So many thoughts run rampant

<Miari> through and within that which is my mind.

<Miari> Not always good, but never, truly bad.

<Miari> Sometimes, just "tense"

<Miari> An Iron Wall that I can't see through or around.

<Miari> That part of me

<Miari> and of you

<Miari> That is unknown to me

<Miari> The uncertainty of not really knowing who "we" is

<Miari> So, in these wee hours, when all is quiet

<Miari> that seems to be when the iron wall is at it's 

		steepest and strongest.

<Miari> It's no use fighting it

<Miari> The more I fight, the stronger it becomes

<Miari> and the later I stay awake.

<Miari> If you were here,

<Miari> perhaps that wall might have some weak points.

<Miari> Places I might push through

<Miari> to be closer to what "we" may be.

<Miari> And, perhaps

<Miari> I might forget the wall

<Miari> and relax against you for a time

<Miari> And sleep.

<Miari> --fin--



<{Tasselhoff}> A good title would be "Alone"

<Shadow-Dancer> Bravo!

<{Tasselhoff}> very good

* _Onyx_ enjoyed it immensely...

<_Onyx_> that was very good

* Sollitaire enjoyed it much.

<Sleepy> Very nice, Miari.

* GryphonKS applauds

* Myrnnh claps for Miari. :)

* theri grins, cool Meeo :)

* Miari lets her breath out and says thank you ;)

<Kalytyra> I think a good title would be "The Wall"

* Sentinele applauds!

* Kalytyra applauds }:>

* Miari hands Bob back to Dragonheart

<_Onyx_> I agree with Kaly..

<{Tasselhoff}> that would be good too.

* Miari nods.. The Wall.

<Myrnnh> Kaly: My thought exactly

<Taltair> Everyone one is talented ..... all good poems

<Arianna> Excellent!

<Miari> Thank you, thank you.

* Miari agrees, thank you Kaly

> or next piece is by our young kender bard Tassllhof

<{Tasselhoff}> close DH

* Kalytyra nods to Miari and smiles

> one of these years Tass

* Miari giggles

<{Tasselhoff}> ahem, this is acctually two sort poems



<{Tasselhoff}> the first: Glitter



<{Tasselhoff}> GLitter and sparkle, show and shine

<{Tasselhoff}> A million tiny facets, and each is mine

<{Tasselhoff}> As clear as crystal, as fogged as glass

<{Tasselhoff}> as heavy as lead, as light as day

<{Tasselhoff}> A million tiny facets

<{Tasselhoff}> glitter ang sparkle, show and shine

<{Tasselhoff}> each is mine

<{Tasselhoff}> ____________________________

> up side is always nice

<Sollitaire> poets choice.

<_Onyx_> k

<{Tasselhoff}> I like depressing



<_Onyx_> -=DESIRE=-



<_Onyx_> Within the wreckage of my mind

<_Onyx_> I do believe there's something there

<_Onyx_> That gives a dam

<_Onyx_> That has a care

<_Onyx_> -

<_Onyx_> It dwells deep within, within

<_Onyx_> It does not bow before my will

<_Onyx_> I can't control it

<_Onyx_> I try to still

<_Onyx_> -

<_Onyx_> Something within

<_Onyx_> Something without

<_Onyx_> Many akin

<_Onyx_> Many in doubt

<_Onyx_> -

<_Onyx_> Everywhere around me I sense the world

<_Onyx_> See with my eyes, smell with my nose

<_Onyx_> To travel inward

<_Onyx_> Neither of those

<_Onyx_> -

<_Onyx_> It's hard to explain how I feel at times

<_Onyx_> I am so completely out of control

<_Onyx_> Of my instincts

<_Onyx_> And my soul

<_Onyx_> -

<_Onyx_> So much within

<_Onyx_> So much to muse

<_Onyx_> I cannot win

<_Onyx_> I will not lose

<_Onyx_> -END-

* Sentinele applauds! I like it. :)

	floor pillow trying to to dribble on it when she sits down.

Senti will start Round three with another of Lothloriend's poems

* Sentinele gets to her feet and clears her throat...



<Sentinele> Through it all

<Sentinele> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<Sentinele> by Lothloriend



<Sentinele> The crystal clear waters rise and fall

<Sentinele> Whil'st the eternal moon doth beckon

<Sentinele> And the sea doth answer its mystical call

<Sentinele> And wave upon wave, doth reckon

<Sentinele> The times that come and go

<Sentinele> Rolling by the sandy shore

<Sentinele> To endings of wistful throe

<Sentinele> For time is no more.

<Sentinele> Tempests too doth build and pass,

<Sentinele> And calm serenity doth with hope prevail,

<Sentinele> So silver moonlight may the gloom surpass

<Sentinele> And thus shall the eternal last.

<Sentinele> ---End---

<Kalytyra> That was good!! *clap**clap**clap**clap**clap**clap*

<Miari> --- ? ---

<Miari> Another day in the quiet splendor of solitude.

<Miari> Through the window, the grass melts into gray and gray into green.

<Miari> the endless rain sputters and spits it's angry tale.

<Miari> Yet -- it provides for the pleasantness of my being out of it.

<Miari> How comforting!

<Miari> To be warm and dry, with good book and cognac.

<Miari> To sit and contemplate life's complexities and simpleness.

<Miari> Gazing out upon the melting forest,

<Miari> calmly blending grays and greens.

<Miari> Enjoying another day in the quiet splendor of Solitude.

<Miari> --fin--

<Shadow-Dancer> ____

<Shadow-Dancer> Stumbling and falling to the ground,

<Shadow-Dancer> Crushed beneath grief and despair,

<Shadow-Dancer> I scream at my Maker

<Shadow-Dancer> "Why is my life so unfair?"

<Shadow-Dancer> .

<Shadow-Dancer> Then do I hear a friendly word,

<Shadow-Dancer> Almost in answer to my proyer,

<Shadow-Dancer> Or feel the gentle hand

<Shadow-Dancer> Of an angel, unaware.

<Shadow-Dancer> .

<Shadow-Dancer> My friends, if you knew what it meant,

<Shadow-Dancer> To know that you're always there.

<Shadow-Dancer> The worth of friendly words,

<Shadow-Dancer> To lif the weight of care...

<Shadow-Dancer> .

<Shadow-Dancer> You will never know your value,

<Shadow-Dancer> As my angels, unaware.

	for it is what I was feeling 4 yrs ago when I wrote it.



<Myrnnh> -----------Grief----------

<Myrnnh> Afraid to live

<Myrnnh> afraid to die

<Myrnnh> a living mute

<Myrnnh> in days gone by

<Myrnnh> Without a care

<Myrnnh> without a reason

<Myrnnh> living pain

<Myrnnh> in every season

<Myrnnh> The just is not

<Myrnnh> and life is hell

<Myrnnh> within these times

<Myrnnh> I have to dwell

<Myrnnh> A leering face

<Myrnnh> An angry heart

<Myrnnh> a blinded eye

<Myrnnh> to smash apart

<Myrnnh> The day may come

<Myrnnh> I know not when

<Myrnnh> my lonliness

<Myrnnh> is gone again.
