My life was peaceful and serene before she entered in the scene before she woke me from my sleep before I met that beauty queen But life began to play its game to torture was its only aim it used my heart just like a toy then threw my heart inside its flame Whenever life shows me her shadow in haste I stand and try to follow then life retreats and takes her far and leaves my heart alone and hollow For that this life is infamous it finds this torture humorous till when will life keep teasing me ? its teasing is so merciless Is there beyond this frowning night a smiling day where we unite to rub my hand upon her face and in my arms I hold her tight Inside her eyes I wish to sail and to her heart I'll walk the trail and with her touch I'll heal my wounds and from her scent I will inhale A heart ..a heart..what is a heart.. if ever we are torn apart ? except a lump of dying flesh.. its sorrow has no end nor start An eye..an eye..what is an eye.. if I cant see her face nearby ? except a silent orb of pain that has no purpose but to cry [This message has been edited by Arabian Knight (edited 01-08-2001).] |

Arabian Night, I like the Frost rhyming scheme in this and despite it's length it flows smoothly and beautifully to the end. Well written! write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Love is indeed a merciless game. We have won and lost. That is why we write. I was reminded more of Omar Khayya'm than Frost, however. Well written nonetheless.
