Burned alive at the stake, You strung me up and lit the match, A witch to you, but not to any other, My home merely mud and thatch. Tempers flare, as does the light, The light that soon consumes, And now it is burning me alive, The heat, the smoke, so soon I'll swoon. I am no Joan Of Arc, No witch at all, No woman of power, Merely me is all. Do what you have to, No matter how I cry and beg, Seems to me you won't be happy, Until I am finally dead. So sad this is that you fail to see, All the love and goodness in me, Of which I know you want to destroy, Go ahead be a nasty boy. As the flames burn higher, I no longer feel their heat, My eyes are drawn to the arch angel above, He at last is filling the void in my life with love. < !signature--> There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) [This message has been edited by Isis (edited 04-08-2000).] |

ISIS I love the different themes you pick... If all was light...then I would have never learnt the dark...from which such truth evolves from which evolves the light... Avanti Rao |

Isis great poem, I'm forever amazed by the different themes you choose and your ability to express your emotions through them !!! Mystical being which makes ink flow Surround me in your incandescent glow Fill my brain with thoughts and rhyme As I try to capture but a moment in time ~Shan~ |

Isis I enjoyed this poem..."My eyes are drawn to the archangel above. He at last is filling the void in my life with love." Lots of hope and love. I also think that I am falling in love. James |

very powerful images in this ISIS... and the emotions of a woman getting stronger come thru loud and clear...very good poem, like the "joan of arc" metapor...very cool  take care, jm The stars shine so bright, now's the time I close my eyes - soft wind touch my face, Cool sand upon the place where I once kissed you And held you close. Now I will reach for the stars... Because Oh my love, that's where you are... Though the storms of black night rage on I still see your face I still feel your lips on mine And though my heart feels all alone without you I still hear you sing to me I still hear your voice on the sea... vertical horizon |

great job...i like the strength that your poem exhibits. Love is our greatest weakness but when it's found, it's our greatest strength. |

I pray the fire you experienced refines, renews, and honors your words and continues to breathe new life into you. This is touching, moving and beautiful. From fire such as what you write only pure gold can emerge. Lasting forever... Kathleen |

Thanks Irish Rose, thanks for leaving such a beautiful response!!  A heart and soul are not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |
