My heart has died Tis black with sorrow I am a creature of this earth Her moods, reflected in mine. This day, is sultry and chilled, A mirror of my inside. Tis love, you see That has done this. What was, is but a shadow. Many shadows dance inside. But this, shall cloud all others. Tight lips. Hands in fists, Hidden all behind. No mirror in these eyes Shall let you see the soul. Time shall give no entry. What you need Appears to unfold. Tears will fall. Wringing hands, twisted and clammy. Eyes will close. Hands be washed. Let us never again tarry. Enjoy the tales Of shining knights, And tales of endless love. But heed the fables And read each one, With an iron glove. Whose hand moves your knight? Are you a pawn upon this table? For which realm do you fight? The haughty or the able? |

Great writing kid, this starts out as a sad poem and turns into a gothic like ending, great turn, I love this line of yours Tis love, you see That has done this. What was, is but a shadow. simply great writing, kid. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

"My heart has died tis black with sorrow. Tis love, you see that has done this. What was is but a shadow." Lovely expression of losing a love and experiencing the sorrow. Hope you are o.k., take care, James |

Whose hand moves your knight? Are you a pawn upon this table? For which realm do you fight? The haughty or the able? Well written - explore the mystery of things Deepak |

Nancee, I guess I missed this one before. I love it. My favored line is "many shadows dance inside, but this shall cloud all others" So true, each hurt adds to the others, but certain ones just dwarf them all. Take care. Love your writing Sandra "If a man moves you to feel like a woman, the least you can do is let him." Merrit Malloy |
