**Note** Every other stanza is done by the other poet. Happy reading.

searching endless as I run
battered by the fearless sun
seeking my beloved one
in the Larkspur Haze

lips too frozen, can not scream
frantic heartbeats, all a dream
forest's whips shatter the seam
of endurance lost

pulling through the broken mist
breathing deep, cannot resist
thinking of the times we've kissed
fear and pain allays

flicker of the midnight lies
shadows vanish, moonbeam sighs
pray that movement be the wise
grope into the frost

merciless, the poison spores
stinging in my open sores
then into my lungs it pours
snuffing out my life

gaze upon the body dead
with this ring, remain unwed
angel wings prepare to spread
now, to kiss my knife.

Great work you two. I don't think that it could have been written any better. Keep up the great work.

Great job of working together, I love when poets do that!
Allan: collaborate!?! But then I probably wouldn't get my way

I would like to say that this piece of work is beyond words of any sort. You two work wonderfully together, and please keep working together always.

I thought these lines rocked:

"shadows vanish, moonbeam sighs
pray that movement be the wise"

Very very very good lines there. Wowish, in fact.
Great job you two

Wow you two really did a wonderful job. I wouldn't expect anything less though. A great mind is a beautiful thing. 2 great minds is... well BETTER. Let me see if I know each your styles or not... I say Allan wrote the odd stanzas, and Carly the Evens. Am I right? Either way great work you two

The beauty of collaboration is in ~not~ sharing who did what.
I'll tell you on ICQ, Jason.
Well I love this piece... and want a few more people to see it so up you go.

Child of the Stars:

This is quite an impressive piece, both technically and content wise. The imagery is quite stunning. I love the 7-7-7-5 syllable format, with the first three lines rhyming together. This is quite an interesting format.

Great poem, give yourselves a pat on the back!
