Sorry that I haven't been around for a while, my computer somehow was infected by a virus, and my muse has been very moody lately!  There Was a Time There was a time I didn't mind wearing the face of a clown, in a child's eye ignorance was fine doning a jester's crown ~ And, there were days of wilesome ways laughter raced in pleasure's haze, reality struck, I'm out of luck of carefree, youthful days ~ There was a time when love was mine, contagious through the land, Eden dies to drown in cries a victim of destiny planned ~ Fantasies fade to regrets, so fast one moment you fly then you hide from the past to deafen dreams from haunting screams, cast into pain, alas. The prince is gone his kiss, withdrawn slippers of glass never do last ~ The night, it yawns in fear of dawn, hearth of heart is torn apart knowing faith won't strum. I'll wake alone in empty home a soul that's come undone By Melissa P. Monette |

It seems when you light up, you shine brilliantly, and when you are in shadows you drape them well over your words, Lady. This is perfect, and it reminds me how I miss being younger. I am many. |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Melissa, this is so so sad; I too have someone I really love, but I fear I may never get to have it, and if I will ever be loved at all in my life. (big hugggsssssss) I know deep down with all my heart Eden will find your heart and true love will shine in your heart forever! (kiss on cheek) Soooooo sad but beautiful, sweet Melissa, I have missed you so very much! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so very much, sweet friend, I hope your computer gets fixed very soon! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Melissa, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

I've always been a fan of your work, in both the Dark and the Light. You belong to both. Very well done. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |
