This is long and I'm sorry but I couldn't say it in less. I hope you can read to the end.The goblin king, he laid a curse and sealed it with a charm "All your fortune's now reversed your luck is turned to harm" I took the curse from his mouth believed I would prevail took my things and headed south far from his land's travail I travelled forth in all the world the charm hung round my throat a small reminder of the curse that curled round me as a skintight coat. It wrapped me closer, closer still till all my life was girt in power to turn love to ill and all beloved's hurt I wore the curse as a shroud trepidation in my soul scared to say good things out loud or ask for love to make me whole I travel, weary on a vagabond of passion I can flirt and sing a song but love is not my fashion there was a man or two that I loved near to death they left me lonely, bereft and blue and almost without breath Every-time I tried to love I was doomed right from the start I never learned to rise above for love had chained my heart Now it's vitally important I hold a love within I vow to wed for he does court and not revile my curse or sin So back into the goblin's lair with hesitant steps erased take off the curse my only prayer whatever you say I do in its place The goblin looked at me and chuckled he laughed out loud and long "I can't believe how you were suckered the curse was you all along". "it didn't come from me o'er you I had no power your heart was strong and free you could have loved at any hour" at once I looked within saw the truth of all his words saw a heart inspired to win no curse, to cut like swords I return so swiftly and pray you're waiting still oh my love, please wait for me! so I this curse can fully kill. My moral to this tale please listen, If you dare We make out own indentured hell by being scared to ever care ...by being bound to never share. Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant - Thoreau |

See Sven, that's what you get for asking for more poetry from me...just desserts.  Be real, and feel Kethry Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant - Thoreau |

Kethry...battles of sorts can be shared...share with me if you want... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Startime, from my heart to your head. Thank you my friend. Kethry Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there. Anon. |
