A long time ago and far far away a fairy tale princess and a beautiful day A marriage was planned the talk of the land a millions songs and a thousand bands The big day arrived all banners held high the prince and princess to wed tonight But came the event the princess didnt show but a messenger proclaimed in words solemn and slow "Dear prince I do love you Dear prince I do care But dear prince i cant marry you for my heart no longer lies there" The morale of this tale for any prince unaware no matter how long or how far away Somewhere a heart is breaking Take a good look at my face |

Time and space two of the greatest foes for romance. Wonderfully written. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

it's comforting, isn't it sometimes, that we're never the only ones. Poems like this remind us that we're not. "You may say I'm a dreamer/ But I'm not the only one..." bhl |

Walter, this is really good. It had a surprising ending, but I still liked it. "Love makes the world go around" |
