Good night sweet Prince, As midnight falls. Around this heart, Within these walls. The sleep of death, A beckoning call. The weary lids, Begin to fall. The brightest spark, Is fading fast. Good night sweet Prince, Will feelings last? And now the end, The thoughts do cease. The tears subside, A sweet release. A final kiss, A final breath. A final tear, A final death. Good night sweet Prince, As midnight falls. Around this heart, Within these walls. |

Marilyn, does this mean that last date didn't go too well?  The poem is excellently written, by the way, almost haunting in its effect. Nice work... |

Wow, Marilyn... What a great poem, so dark and sorrowful and it flows so smooth. What a mood you evoked, greatly enjoyed. Abrahm Simons "...Watching fate as it flows down the path we have chose" - Trent Reznor, "We're in this Together" |

Marilyn~ When you pop in here ... you do it in style. This is open-hearted emotion. I like it. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Elektra....No relation to Shakespeare that I know of...lol. Thanks for the compliment though. Robert...Nothing much to tell my friend. Just some poetic rambling from a lonely woman.  Mike....Date went fine. Just no sparks..you know. Thanks for the compliment. I tried to make it quite haunting. I am glad it worked.Tim...Thankyou. I am glad you enjoyed. Abe....Thanks. I am glad you enjoyed. It was supposed to be dark and sorrowful. Seems all I can write lately. One who Understands....Such a compliment. Thankyou. Marge....You are such a sweet lady. Thankyou for your kind words. Elizabeth....I am glad you enjoyed. ESP....Love is such a fickle thing. You make connections with people but yet it has to be just right to be real. Always enjpy the friendship even if the spark isn't there. |

Your Prince of hearts is searching yet he'll not give up until you've met ~ In castle walls deep in your heart only time keeps true love apart ~ So Before you close your eyes this night leave lipstick on with candle bright Loved your poem Rex}>{{{{o> |

Well... I'll have to brush up on my poetry lingo before I'll know if it's "haunting" or not, but it made the trip to teh second page of post worth while and I think I'll make that my last read for the night... thanks. "The storm rises up when the shadows descend every beat of my heart every day without end I will stand like a rock I will bend till I break till theres no more to give if thats what it takes I will risk everything I will fight I will bleed I will lay down my life if thats what you need every second I live thats the promise I make" I have no idea who wrote this... tell me if you know. =) |
