Okay. Haven't been in in a while and I've missed all of you very much. I can't assure you that I will frequent here as oft as I did, but I'll pop in more. Here's one for you thinkers. Along the sea of life Fate walked with Love one day. "Love, thinkest thou that Life without thyself is myself, or the choice of that one being?" Love thought for a moment. "I believe that without thy indirect influence, I would not be who I am." So they walked, hand in hand. He Fate, she Love, and discussed the follies of Man. "Is Hate the due process of non-interference by myself, or a result of failure on thy part?" Love thought for a moment. "Hate belongs to Chance. So if, per Chance, you and I are not timely, perhaps as a turtle to arrive, then Hate and Chance have a stronghold." So they walked, they two, on the sands of Time, on the shore of the sea of Life. "If Life be a product of... be it myself or Chance, is it also a product of thyself, or Life itself?" "Alas, dear Fate, not all life is made in love. Therefore if it is a product of myself, it is love. But be it a product of Hate, then it is a product of Life, where at any time thou mayest step in and join it to myself." So Fate walked, and Love walked. "Love, be thou and myself the entities that we are, is it by Chance that we are joined, or by myself?" "A greater power holds reign over both thee and I. Be it because thou hast deemed it so, or Chance, it is as it is, and thus it alway shall be." So they walked. "If a poet were to depict both us, and Chance, and Hate-whether it be by myself or per Chance, through thine influence, or the Whim of Hate-what is to be said of this thing?" "Hush, Fate, thou questions too much. Just hold my hand and walk." So Fate and Love, joined eternally, walked on the sands of Time, along the sea of Life. So as Fate has deemed it, Love holds all the answers, and is the answer to Hate. Be it not by Chance, But by Fate. "Fate, the poet must be under the influence of myself to put to verse this walk, Chance and Hate have lost once more." And they walked. Thomas A.

Salooma- Thank you for your kind words. The wording was quite a challenge but it seemed to fit right at the time. Remind me to reply to more of your work. I've read some of it but it was on those pop in, pop out days, you know? Been meaning to reply to them though. Erin- No, this piece actually took me about 20 minutes to write yesterday at work. Sorry I've been gone for so long, but I had some things going on in my life that kinda had me preoccupied. I'm back though and will try to reply and post at least once a week.Good to be back. Missed reading your work. [This message has been edited by TAP2 (edited 08-18-2000).] |

It's been a while my dear! It's ok though, I forgive you~ hehe at any rate, this poem was absolutely magnificent!! I had to read it like 10 times to fully understand it. It's the blondeness I guess. LoL Talk to you later! Keep it up!! Love Always~*~Jessica~*~~*~Why is it that love always starts with a HuG grows with a kIsS and ends with a TeAr?!?~*~ |

Jess, Glad you liked it. It is very complex, so don't feel bad that it took a couple of reads to figure it out. I wrote it and after it was done it took me about two complete read throughs to realize the in depthness of what I had written. Thanks for replying! Thomas |
