Before Love A lifetime ago In times of swords and shields The spill of blood did flow Over meadows and silent fields He never knew her name Never had they met He loved her just the same His life all but set Two souls together in rebirth A second chance from the Dove He had finally proved his worth So says the message from above Had we met, before love?

Mariana, I like this as well. So sad, two people passing in search of each other and yet, never meeting. I enjoyed the simplicity of this poem that says something so well without the burden of length. Very nice! |

I was going to say that but my armor needs shining and my sword is dull. Been a long time since last battle for damsel in distress. Wait, i'm putting boots on now! |

This dove character, what's his/her purpose. Now cupid, he would have shot him in the butt and they would have gotten together, pronto..... Hark, a knight cometh with rusty sword, must go. Parker |

Danny: You had better hurry. Us damsels aren't very patient about a lot of things. James: You disappoint me. Running off when another knight approaches, he could be a black knight. And you not staying to defend my honour....OK so I have none.. By the way Cupid only shoots knights who are..well,shall we say... Very well equipted Amy,Corinne and Marge: Thanks. Maybe It's every girls dream....NA! [This message has been edited by Marina (edited 02-28-2000).] |

Hark thou fair maiden I have come hither to defend thy honor And to shield thee from The Raven With my sword and shield I will defend thee And keep thee safe from harm And when 'tis over, 'twill be thee and me For love knows not the bonds of time It stretcheth beyond death and life And fills the cup like the finest of wine For I have always known thee From that first sight above And now again, we shall be free To know what we knew. . . before love --------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Enough of this, Must I battle Sven for this maiden's hand? Out with your sword and take a stand, chivalry is here with heart's decree, off with your head, she belongs to me. |

Battle you must and battle you will For I have rescued this maiden and defend her I will For my sword is sharp and my armour shines brightly I will defend her honor both daily and nightly So, en garde thou knave, prepare to defend For when the battle's over, she will be with me in the end. . . --------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Boys! I am flattered by all this attention, but don't you think it would be easier if both of you came to Toronto and we could make this into an interesting threesome!!! Marina |
