Hark good people gathered in this arena Gather round as I tell of the Lady Marina With skin of porcelain and hair like spun gold Ne'er before was such beauty seen, or such a tale told. Living alone in a castle by the sea Marina had riches, but she yearned to be free She wrote poems of the love she longed to know Hoping that one day that knight to her himself would show. Many had sought to win Marina's hand They came from far and wide, all across the land But she would shoot them down like targets with a dart For though they knew Marina, they did not know her heart. Then one day, from a land quite far Came a knight whose armour shined like the stars "Hark people of this fair city! I am Sven!" he cried. "I have come for the hand of Lady Marina, and I will not be deined!" With skill and daring he battled the best Dispatched them quickly, and passed the first test Even Lady Marina herself was quite amazed Could he be the one for which she had prayed? He approached her throne, and took her hand Got down on one knee, before eveyone in the land And in a voice, quite clear and very fair Spoke out to her and all the people there. "Lady Marina, I have dreamed of thee night and day Thou art my destiny, I will not be swayed. Many foes have I battled, many miles I have come Wouldst thou do me the honor, and be my shining sun?" With that Marina rose to her feet And bid him rise, so that their eyes would meet Pledging to him her heart and her love To her destiny, knight sent from above. So ends my tale of the Lady Marina I think you for thy attention, good people of the arena. And remind you here that of all the stars that shine None shines so brightly as the love of a lifetime. ---------------------------------------------------------- < !signature--> That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 03-06-2000).] |

Very sweet, Sven and beautifully written. Marina should be extremely flattered by your words. But, what happened to the paints?  Don't care what people say Just follow your own way Don't give up and use the chance To return to innocence. -Enigma |
