Elizabeth's Song Here doth passed a great romanticist Seen by the very words that he kissed When speaking rhyme of candles bright That lit the darkest of this night… And maiden she would hear thy 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 their dance all through this night. Phantom of time looked down upon them As he held her close in swirling spin And when she chanced to look up at him She found he'd become her dream ~ a whim. For 'twas a dream, song of which thou wrote By his very words to her heart did emote The song of dreams that could come true 'tis how a poet works, with words for you. Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Tears stream down my face and words cease to flow.....beautiful is the only word I have to offer for there is no word that would do this justice...or the poet it speaks from or of~ |

Kari, this is truly exceptional, it is purely poetic delight. I have only one thing to say this is an angels song, this is a gift so precious that it humbles me. Truly outstanding it really is Take care kid Majestic Marsha With an imp or two |
