'TIS AN IDLE FANCY I love HER? How can you say that? I tell you it is not true! You insist! Even when it isn't a fact? Oh! How can I convince you? I do not believe a word you say! And even if I did, so what? So what if throughout the day My brow is feverish and hot? So what if from my deepest slumber I start and then to her call out? So what if efforts to erase her memory Have by time - been put to rout? So what if I only think of her And talk and dream and live her name? So what if my eyes are often filmed With tears of sorrow, lingering shame That I could not my conscience still And keep my tryst with destiny's call? So what if her image my heart does fill So what if she holds my heart in thrall? 'Tis nonsense, once more I tell you You are mistaken though you know me well Even though away with my soul she flew 'Tis an idle fancy, - can't you tell? Deepak Menon |

Creative title, creative poem. But beware: Denial is a feverishly potent weapon, aim it careful my friend. ---------------------- Spreading insanity, one post at a time “Writing about darkness comes easily for me. I just close my eyes and write what I |

beauiful poem "Those who will not learn to use this instrument well cannot be saved by an expanded alphabet; they will only afflict us with expanded gibberish" ~ |

what words of fancy you have produced...leads one to believe that you really are...well written. Don't care what people say Just follow your own way Don't give up and use the chance To return to innocence. -Enigma |

Dear All - Lovers All And the All seeing through me so well!! Am I so transparent I wonder! Or is it my Idle Fancy? Or are these fancies all of our lives? Thank you Deepak |
