A Stolen Season is our love a stolen season? an Indian Summer of passion and fire is it just a brief respite from winter's icy chill? will the blossoms and fruit of our desire that lay so heavy upon the branches of the love we've made fade in the coming grey, storm laden days ahead? will the warm fragrant breezes that caress our senses will they, will they even now, rip the tender spring growth between you and I, to tattered shreds with the raking fingers of it's winter twin? it aches my heart, to fear that our love will flicker and die, like the autumn sun and that the splendor of the sun-filled days will wither away in my mind like the leaves outside my window and fall, drifting to the floor of my mind like some happy illusion like some forgotten season of years past a brief stint in the chambers of time where the clock had stopped where she could touch us not with her endless count as we forced back the dawn and held it captive with tears and protest unwilling for our stolen season to end we beseeched the sun to stay her rise for one more bittersweet hour while we proclaimed our unending love bound it firm with passionate kiss and earnest pledge my love, if I could, I'd forswear the sun and hold high the moon in her stead if I could but keep you near my side for just a moment more ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls; for stony limits cannot hold love out; and what love can do that dares love attempt." ~Romeo and Juliet Act II [This message has been edited by IsabelleSkye (edited 10-19-1999).] |

I'm sitting here almost in tears. Your words are a lyrical mirror to your longing.... These, especially, "like some forgotten season of years past a brief stint in the chambers of time where the clock had stopped where she could touch us not with her endless count as we forced back the dawn and held it captive with tears and protest unwilling for our stolen season to end" .....geez.... i have to read this again... and yet again. Wonderful, Izzy. Truly fine writing.  dp [This message has been edited by doreen peri (edited 10-19-1999).] |
