Thy lips are lonely without thee my knight 'Tis not thine enemy I fear, Whilst mine heart is weary by candlelight Thy bones ache with every tear. Without thou, mine lips are wither'd Thus; a mere thorn without a red rose, Henceforth, thy love, cometh hither Sweet petals of thy heart dost close. My knight with armour, clenched sword and blood O, white doves! thine ears hear thy cries, Thy lips bid adieu,thy kiss of rosebuds Thou art now but a bright star in thine eyes. Thy feathered quill on parchment stains, Tears and blood ink whilst moonlight wanes. A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) [This message has been edited by Victoria (11-25-2012 10:02 PM).] |

A sad and weary poem for the holiday season, Victoria. Maybe you can find the Christmas spirit and let it chase away the blues. I sincerely hope that is the case. I need to put some effort in that direction also. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
