My heart weeps
Singing a gentle tune
Whispering winds
Among the trees

An old lady
Self image of me
Soon to be
Some years from now

Unconditional love and trust
A yearning to be within
The great walls
That surround thee

My heart cries
My broken song of love
Song of laughter, joy
Bitter-sweet song of sorrow

An old man
Image of my mate
Too far away
A lost soul in time

The great walls
That stand gaurd around thy heart
Crumble to the ground
Opening thy gate

Teah, this WAS very well written. You wrote such good descriptive words.   Keep it up!

Exellent work!  I liked this one a lot.

Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water,
Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha

i like it    very good imagery... plus i like the use of the elizabethan language (something i tend to favor in my own writing)... the last line is superb... "opening thy gate"... it just drives the meaning home... wonderful job  

sincerely,
jerome the boy with no brain

 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
~Coleridge

I have to agree with Jerome on this one.  I to am a big fan of the Elizabethan era and the language. I really enjoy the exurb "My heart cries, My broken song of love, Song of laughter, joy Bitter-sweet song of sorrow."  Great job!
