An emptiness, I'll fill, I think With bitterness and poison drink My amber mistress, in a glass She keeps me standing near the brink Its past and pain, she numbs, she knows With every drink, the darkling grows My amber mistress, in a glass She pays my price in coin she chose I raise my crystal, in salute I laugh and know she'll follow suit My amber mistress in a glass We toast to weakness, undilute She whispers, take me, I am yours I'll hide your pain behind locked doors My amber mistress in a glass Will save my soul, so she assures [This message has been edited by Jason Lyle (04-06-2003 11:08 PM).] |

You sent me back to Poe time once more, Jason. How do you achieve such astonishing musical effects in perfect meter in your work! You got me asking for mo' Po', Please!But until the next lyrical write, salute to weakness as I raise my wine glass to your amber mistress! |
