Everyone, if you could bear with me a bit...
|
|
I found this poem (I'm not saying where) and I would like your opinion of
|
|
it. I am not sure if I am posting in the right place but
|
|
I am sure I will find out (grin)

Again the burning came,
|
|
She felt the heat, the searing pain
|
|
a cry lanced through her heart
|
|
"Why, My Lady, Why"
|
|
|
|
She lay quietly, remembering
|
|
lost within the labrynth of the past
|
|
and the future
|
|
she did not feel the bite of the cruel blade.
|
|
|
|
Bleeding, moaning, she saw the man
|
|
his face, and heart masked with black
|
|
she knew his choices and his pain
|
|
Oh, to cause pain, to accept his own
|
|
if only she could Touch him, Heal him.
|
|
|
|
"I love you" she whispered
|
|
dark eyes calm, yet full of pain
|
|
"Don't " cried the man "I want to see you die"
|
|
"I love you and forgive you" she said
|
|
tears rolled freely down her cheeks
|
|
|
|
Again, and again the searing pain
|
|
As the man applied the red hot blade
|
|
"Do you still love me, and forgive me" he screamed?
|
|
|
|
Despite the pain she answered strongly
|
|
"I do", She smiled
|
|
"Blessed be" she whispered.
|
|
|
|
A wave of pain sent her among the stars.
|
|
"My Lady" she cried "I'm frightened"
|
|
Strong arms held her close
|
|
"You have done well my child, rest now"
|
|
|
|
The man watched as the blade grew cold
|
|
As the young body before him cooled
|
|
tears streamed down his face
|
|
and he whispered
|
|
"Forgive me"
