Into the dark of most evil light
Solitary man doth take the fight
for thy words of rhyme do feed
and bring forth to thee a need.

    For thy seeking white of right
    solitary man, take thy light
    for a candle one would heed
    the brilliance within thy lonesome deed

Mine heart and soul must feel
upon the meadow of love's field
the words of the maid most fair
are said sure and with a flair.

    For one would speak naught but true
    as potions one pours within a brew
    for courage, Sire, be yours in mind
    and heart! Sire, I give thee mine

Against the flow of the page
I leave alone as your sage
and in thy words I do rely
for tis thy words I see...I sigh.

    In darkest night 'twould seek my write
    against candle's gleam against dark, fight
    for beyond the pale, seek thy gleam
    and no, 'tis naught, 'tis naught but dream

I have written duets before as well, and sometimes things just "click" with that partner, and it just flows and meshes together, and this appears to have happened here. (Great feeling, isn't it? )

This is seamless, and a classical flair to it--as though written for the stage. Wonderful.

Yes...I must agree...when two people have
similar styles...it can click...as this
seems to have.  I have a worthy muse who
rose to the occasion well...

Thank you Nancy,  Karilea, Serenity and
Amusemi for your warm remarks...
