This is kinda long, so... * Ly`szeth takes a deep breath and begins... First love, tis true, is the sweetest and best, As if by the lords of Life it is blessed. No stars of night, nor depths of the seas Could measure the love that I keep for thee No stars of night, nor depths of the seas Mike was tastier... less fat ACK! Wait... * Ly`szeth 's program just screwed up... *sigh* > hold up ly! > EVERYONE! > COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE YOUR CONVERSATIONS IN /MSGS - NOT HERE - > And if I sound grumpy - I am - I have to clean the mess up later > Ly why don't you restart * Ly`szeth nods I think I've got it straight now -- First Love-- First love, tis true, is the sweetest and best, ,As if by the lords of Life it is blessed. .No stars of night, nor depths of the seas Could measure the love that I keep for thee. No height of sequoias nor strength of the oaks, ,No wisdom of rowan or dogwood can boast That they my life for thee they outmeasure, For thou art, indeed, my heart's only treasure. For thee I would die if it meant thou wouldst live; ;Gladly mine own blood for thine I would give. .I remember the day that I thee first saw-- Thou didst then, as now, enrapt me, enthrall... .Enchanted thou art, and thou magicked me As helpless, ensorcelled, in thy wings thou held me. Thou fought off the night, and heralded dawn, ,And calmed all my fears as thou only could calm. Twas thou who didst teach me at first how to fly, ,And gave my soul wings, and taught it to try. Thou gave me my voice, and taught it to sing-- Year's Longest Day never meant the same thing! Thou taught me my life, when I thought it was lost; Thou gave me my life, my savior thou wast-- Thou ART-- for I with thee ever shalt be, ,Our spirits forever entwined, thou and me. Despairate was I, I recall, on that day When Fate did in separate ways our lives lay. I lived for thee only, though I wanted to die... .But I hoped --I KNEW-- one day, thee and I Together would be, once more, at last, ,Though I knew not how true was that hope that I'd cast. And find thee I did. Or didst thou findeth me? After year upon year, decade, century.. World upon world, and plane upon plane; At last, life's search spent, we're together again! And so Fates do see us, their tangle untwists On this cold, barren mountain enshrouded in mist. Oh, how I missed thee, and loved thee, I told. How I wish twould not end so, my new life, thine old. How I wish twould not end so, my new life, thine old. .Didst thou plan it this way? Didst thou this foresee? And wait, always patient, enduring, for me? Why leave me? I need thee! To show me the way And to banish dark night into new breaking day. Thou loved me truly, and heedless, I know, And I wonder if I can ever love so. .I ever shall love thee, shalt always recall; Thou shan't be forgotten: thou still art my All. * I paused. I looked down. I saw love in his eyes And I echoed unsurely as the nightingale cried. * I echoed that, too, my voice raised in song, * In harmony to my soul's love, and his own. * Those words I spoke as I held him so dear, * Willed time to stop, and sad mists to clear... * But time and the mists would hold their own sway, * And the Fates not be thwarted again on that day. * I looked down again; Father's eyes shone with pride; * And I learned a new lesson -- on the night that he died. ---end-- * Ly`szeth breathes a shakey sigh * Chant claps, that was great, Ly :) how does one come about to recite tonight?

I have a poem I would like to share if anyone wants to hear it. > it looks like Watergod hasn't been able to switch > so lets continue with Shadow-Dancer * Dragonheart hands Rush over to SD * Shadow-Dancer takles Rush, tilts him to the left, and hands him a scroll. Three men gathered to speak of mighty things. One, the finest of all warriors, One the highest of all kings. The last, a Master Bard Whose pen had legends wrought. They wondered which was greater, And each proclaimed his thought. . The Warrior stood. . Here I stand before you, My sword held in my hand. My armour gleaming, polished, Having conquered much of land. Kingdoms live, and kingdoms die, On the edge of gleaming swords, Blood and iron rule, say I. . The King rose. . Here I stand before you, My scepter in my hand. My holdings are rich and vast, Armies march at my command. Men will live, and men will die, For my merest whim is law, By grace of God rule I. . The Bard spoke. . Here I stand before you, My quill and scroll in hand. My tales will live far beyond Any king, in any land. Memories live, and memories die Preserved by this humble quill, O'er history rule I. . A Mother stood. . Here I stand before you, My new-born babe in hand. My child is quiet, sleeping, Silence, I demand. This child will live, and someday die, Here are all of your futures, Made by such as I. . The Warrior sat. The King was seated The Bard fell silent. Leaving only she Who was greatest of all Standing. fin * Shadow-Dancer hands Rush back to DH..

"Go away! I read it by myself!" It's all too real, This fantasy of mine. My daydream of death, Death of all mankind. Ever wonder, what I am like, Inside? It's a real hard world. So deeply cut, So deeply known. My world, My niche. Where my passion has grown. It comes from inside, It seeps out from my mind, Visions of my visions, Dreams of my dreams, It's like being smashed into dust, Ground into the floor, It's my world you've stepped on. Now get the fuck off. You want me to give you A piece of it? If you want it... You'll be damned if you get it. I am shocked, I am bold. It's all to real.

And trees all around me, so beautiful and full of life. The wind whistling through the branches... sweet a song as any fife. . A summer breeze so soft and warm, blows gently on my face. A piece of sky pokes shyly through to add its warm embrace. . The happiness I feel within these gifts from up above all seem to be intensified.. as my heart is filled with love. . ---------end------- YEAH MYRNNH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love the ending stanza * Shadow-Dancer applauds! * BeautifulDreamer claps!!!!! <_Onyx_> My God, that was uplifting....I loved it.

The sky fills with gold, The sun comes to pay homage to the sky, The great golden sky. - I fly around, Up there... In my dreams. My flight takes me to far lands, Full of adventure, and misty shores.
