Sy’s Song to ‘Lizbeth [in response to Candelabra] Here, there doth passed a great romanticist Seen by the very words that he kissed When speaking rhyme of candles bright That lit the darkest of the night… And maiden she would hear his song To his side she swift ~ belonged And whispered low in shadowed light How his candelabra’s song was ever bright. He took her by her maiden’s hand To his ballroom now lit grand With golden stems holding forth great light And danced her dance all through his night. Phantoms of time looked down upon them As he held her close in dancing spin And when she chanced to look up at him She found he’d become her dream ~ a whim. For ‘twas a dream, the song of which he wrote By his very words to her heart did emote The song of dreams that could come true that is how a poet works, the words are just for you. 22 November, 1999 ©KRJ ------------------ Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Sunshine, You have made from one a thousand flair These candles that your words did bare. And I'm in awe your steep of tea. You have written a true epopee. *L* |

Dear Sy, your analysis pleases me thus For you know I’ll not make fuss Over anything other than veracity, As ever all your work that comforts me… So if I might make you smile, Give reason to the day worthwhile, And take away any crimson bile, Then I will go for you that extra mile. ------------------ Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
