Isabel

Heaven and hell my Isabel,
From the lava mountains came,
Heightened heights of ice from flame,
Sermon symbols of her name.

Heaven and hell my Isabel,
My agonies, my ecstasies,
My bell that tolls both qualities
And seems to sail on fantasies?

Heaven and hell my Isabel,
A tongue that double strike my mind
The hell that I would leave behind
And all the heaven I would find.

Heaven and hell my Isabel,
This gift of life with me the heir,
Heaven a sense beyond compare
And hell a cross that I must bear.

Heaven and hell my Isabel,
Spirit of the cell I dwell,
Bell, the echo and the knell,
Heaven and hell my Isabel.

Heaven, the fruition of need,
And hell is in doing the deed.

Hey! I like this style... think I'll just try to plagiarize it for my own use... heh heh heh

Incidently, I also liked the way you led me through that into the concluding lines...

There are only a few that can rhyme like Si, and here's to you and Isabel.  You are in our thoughts.
