Passion Passion plays upon my brain The strum of real but not the same My chords are but a finger’s play Upon the visions of the day In phantom guise I mask the me And pluck the stay of ecstasy I ride the wile of the before And chide the come of never more Euphoric tunes of pleasure’s seem Are phonic threads of phobic dream That rest upon the fringe of taunt By night they strum, by day they haunt But I would never snuff the song Of lover’s dreams where I belong [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (10-26-2004 07:16 PM).] |

and you do this so beautifully... smile here: "Euphoric tunes of pleasure’s seem Are phonic threads of phobic dream" You could put that on my tombstone--if I had want of one. gracefully stunning as always |

you play a mean guitar lady jane....smiles and hugs Euphoric tunes of pleasure’s seem Are phonic threads of phobic dream That rest upon the fringe of taunt By night they strum, by day they haunt But I would never snuff the song Of lover’s dreams where I belong simply stunning, as is your talent... beautifully done |

Oh, if this were to be part of Wranx' challenge, I would say you could see Sy all over this... but as it doesn't appear to be part of the challenge, well then, most assuredly, it is one of your best ever, Lady Santos... |

Thank you, Lady Sunshine! It was, in fact part of Wranx' challenge, masquaraded for sure, but uncovered by a poetic pro. (You'll notice that it's not even signed.I appologixe to Sy for even trying to imitate his writing. I simple couldn't come close. But at least one person thought I imitated his style. So it wasn't in vane. THose brilliant comments make me want to keep writing like Sy. LOL. Anyway, Thank you Sy for letting me borrow your brilliance. And Kudos to you,Lady Sunshine for uncovering my game. It was fun! Liz |

Thank you ma'am for a double dose of the Sighmeister today, you did him proud. These two lines were sure Sy's signature Liz: I ride the wile of the before And chide the come of never more |

Liz, don't fret. I said Sy after about two lines, that is how well you wrote it. Splendidly, for sure. |

What a great *sigh* ! A beautiful write, in its own right. This masquerade challenge has really brought out some mighty fine poetry. |
