I will never love another, no one, ever again. This she said to me, the sadness etched in her face. Surely she will, if only she will open her eyes. For the gaze will show her the way to mine own. Leave me now, let me be free, I cannot love. Oh the sadness of these words, the heart quaking. If only she would open her ears My voice would flow over her as water flowing over smooth timeless rock No, I will not, my sadness too deep to be swayed Again I plead to her, for her selfishness hides her. Lady dear, you of the golden hair and fair skin. Allow me but one night to show you my love. For within mine own arms you will feel peace. I have lost the only true love, I will to die. Oh dearest belle, cannot your heart feel mine? Will I have to wrest it from mine own chest? This man is true, my heart beats for only you. I shall gouge out my eyes if I cannot see your own. Why is it you do feel this way, who am I to you? Love of my eyes, my soul, can you not look upon your face? The reflection of purity and elegance smiles at you. Your image is from the clouds above, sculpted by the gods. I will take you there, and then you will see.. For I love you my dear, eternity awaits us now.

Yes if you have been recently disappointed in love you will feel this way...but down the road a bit who knows the desires of the heart...James |

True...I was watching a movie on TV and this young beautiful woman lost her love to the crusades, (He left)...she vowed to never love again...It inspired me to write this. I could have taken it a different direction, but felt this was OK. Thanx JM |

Somehow this seemed very familiar...perhaps I am getting used to your way of writing, but either way... I enjoyed... |
