She Stands Waiting In the moonless dark of the night She stands, waiting for me With skin pale and cold as snow And black sorrowful eyes, as deep as the sea The moves with the breathless wind Rustling leaves and combing grass With slender fingers she taps the lake’s surface Causing ripples on ebon glass Slowly her gaze rises to meet mine An emotionless face with flawless skin Pale rose lips press firmly together Black eyes betray a winter within She stands motionless, shrouded in black folds Until her fingers slowly rise My icy breath catches in my throat And silently I close my eyes Icy fingers brush against my eyelids And cold lips against my trembling cheek My knees buckling beneath me And I fall to the ground, helplessly weak I exhale my last breath, my last bit of warmth And drift into an endless rest In the moonless dark of the night She stood waiting for me; Death ((Hey ya'll...anyone remember me? I was told my Kielo that people actually MISSED me. *is still rather surprised* You people have no clue how good that made me feel. So, if ya'll won't ban me for abandoning you, I'm gonna come back. [There was, btw, a reason I left. But anyways.] SO-O, anyhow, to sum it all up, I'm back.)) |

Crysania, welcome back from wherever you've been. What a stunning poem to return with. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

*hugz* Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad to be back. True friends are not those who are with you at the end, but those who helped you through the journey. |

*grin* You're amazing. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Kielo (It still takes my breath away) According to statistics, a man eats a prune every twenty seconds. I don't know who this fellw is, but I know where to find him. |

Welcome home. Of course you were missed...our rooms are ever widening, and we need more just like you to fill them, and to welcome others... |

Thank you, for making me feel so wanted here.  It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside...a sign of true happiness.Stephanie Do what you want and say what you feel. Those who matter won't mind and those who mind don't matter. (Forget who said that...must find their name.) |

Now, why can't everyone around me be like you, huh? :P Do what you want and say what you feel. Those who matter won't mind and those who mind don't matter. (Forget who said that...must find their name.) |
