What words in gentle whisper spoken Might see the mask and mirror broken -- What trick of tongues shall thus betoken The end of dynasties? What touch, that flows from deepest reaches Of hope, shall prove the one that teaches To love, to need, whilst soul beseeches: “Cede here the victory?” What gaze shall see the ramparts falling? A clarion to closeness calling, That charms the guard from e’er forestalling The siege before its start? What trust, from ash in anguish buried Shall rise, and to this doubt be married? What careful hand shall see it carried To wake the dreaming heart? YOUR LIFE IS A TEST It is only a test ... If this were your Actual Life, you would have been given better instructions! |

Oh I love that. "To wake the dreaming heart?" My heart is always dreaming, and now my eyes are open. "I'm sorry for telling u love was unnecessary... making u lose ur way. I'm sure I'll be as sad as u feel." ~Touch and Go |

Kess, I remember when you wrote this my soul cried "the hand of true love". I didn't even know you at the time, but now I can truly say the emotion invoked was not done so falsely. The "softer" side of you doesn't readily appear in many of your works - probably why this will always be one of my fav's of yours - ranks right up there with the "Do You Dream" one. Guess it's not so bad having a heart afterall, eh? Still can't believe you said the "M" word though... LOL Love Ya, Michael |

Wow Kess, this certainly has my vote beautiful writing! < !signature--> Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive, my body goes on, my spirit has died and I though alive, feel dead inside. "Rose Petal" [This message has been edited by Dark Angel (edited 07-12-2000).] |
