Mistress of Rose Fields: "Mistress of Rose Fields, beware thy speech. Tis Whispering Meadows, a secret leach. Crouch down and speak, yet lightly still Thou dost not want a Meadow to thrill. Ever so softly grant me thy tale. Be slow, yet steady, my mind to fail. In left ear, not right. Tell me now, Whisper thy plight of where and how." Time elapsed, the tavern was cold. Mistress of Rose Fields, her secret told. Whispering Meadow lay in shock on floor Exclaiming, "Halt! Please stop, no more!" Yet still, she went on, and on she pressed. Meadow lay dead, in motionless blessed With eyes wide open, and mouth closed tight. His mind in fear, in fear of fright. Tears ran down Mistress cheek. Uttered a secret that made her weak. Fell to the floor in a weary spill, Yet continued on, no fear of kill. She finished herself with one, short phrase. Said it softly and within a haze, "Tis what happens when we blindly see, I turned my back on love, on thee." I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily [This message has been edited by Dopey_Dope (edited 04-21-2001).] |

Hope you don't mind my replying in here, but have to say I enjoyed this, and the pic, too. I like the lilting style of it, quite unexpected. To love another person is to see the face of God. |

Excellent work, Javier! Just excellent! This poem is definitely one of the best I have seen from you in my short time in PIP, I truly do think this is outstanding. *click* into the library. And aren't you a bit little to be smoking? ~Allan Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. |

Yeah... you're good ps. I love the pic, hehe.. you're so cute!! *The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else.* |

A little differant than the majority of your work. The old english really improves the flow/atmosphere, i don't think it would have worked without it. yep yep. Good work. Spreading insanity, one post at a time |

Great poem, I think this is the first I read from you. Can't wait till the next one. Give her two red roses, each with a note. The first note says "For the woman I love" and the second, "For my best friend." |

I feel like you're just one step ahead of me with the two poems I've read so far. LOL, It's like following the dawn, you can just see the light, but it hasn't broken yet. It works well for me though, it gets me thinking about what you said, intrigues me. The ending rather binds it all together. Those last two lines are, of course, great I can relate to so well to "blindly see"ing. My favorite image though has to be with "eyes wide open and mouth shut tight." A closing off of something and an opening of another. Excellent poem, Javier, really like that Archaic wording you used, done quite well, from my point of view. "There's nowhere to set my aim |
