+*+*+*+*+ In castle dark, so damp and dreary, roamed a ghost, so sad and teary. Lost his heart and head, they say, when his love did go away. He climbed to top of highest tower. Threw self off like castoff flower. Tho' body spread in four directions, his spirit walks unseen dimensions. Footfalls echo down each corridor, as he pines for love, lost forevermore. +*+*+*+*+ |

This SO needs a bump. This reminded me of a song my music teacher used to make us sing when we were itty-bitties. She'd walk around with this head (although it was a manican head...still, lol), singing the song in this creepy voice...Geeze, she was a nut, but she was the best nut ever  Thanks for bringing this memory back. |

And to the corners of the earth a soul is spread awaiting birth. But now is left to walk and wail through stormy night, blowing gale. For of a love now blind to see he ever roams so listlessly and when is time, he shall return to light the fires as passions burn. Excellent write Lady Linda, much enjoyed. |

awww......how sad =( Now I have to feel sorry for ghosts too. I'm afraid there is unfortunately enough pity and sadness to go around and around and round and round.... Joe "The worst vice is advice" (Al Pacino, devil's advocate) |

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Linda, forgive me for the crying, I just like happier endings and the thoughts of those truly commiting suicide when heartbroken truly is terrible! (wipes tears) This made my heart feel weak, sweet friend, you always write with a sympathetic and mighty heart, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth I can see the sun set and I perceive ***Live*** [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (10-29-2003 11:23 PM).] |

Noah ~ Oh, no! I made you cry again with another of my sad and tragic-ending poems! I'll change the ending here for you, my gentle angel friend! ~ When the forlorn lover leapt from the tower, a willow tree broke his fall. He did not perish in his jilted lover's leap; however he did break his leg. When his lover heard of his misadventure, she returned to help him through his convalescence. She fell in love with him again and they married, had 2 children, and lived happily everafter! THE END Feel better now?   Linda |
