In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Owner of the Day of Judgment. You we worship and You we seek help. There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah

I am stretched on your grave
And would lie there forever;
If your hands were in mine
I’d be sure we’d not sever.
My apple tree, my brightness,
‘Tis time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And am stained by the weather.

When my family think
That I’m safe in my bed
From night until morning
I am stretched at your head,
Calling out to the air
With tears hot and wild
My grief for the girl
That I loved as a child.

Today I needed to come and sit here, get lost in my memory.

Each one a joy, smile, laugh, tear, but each one precious and special.

I feel like I am floating around in a sea of so many people all of whom have seen parts of the inner me, (the outer me, well that's another story for another time, in another place, ;)

My whole mind and soul is way too much for anyone so far.
Maybe...
I love that word, the fantasy gypsy in me holds onto it like a lifeline.

Many a poet had written
of her beauty..
She was not unaware of
the exotic whispers that
blew through the snow
covered forests that boardered
the mighty castle
Yet, somehow, the words of
the poets fell deft on her lonely
heart though they drew their
words from the blinding gems
of sense and fragile human
passion
On dreary nights her fingertips
would gently carress a wine filled
golden golblet as she gazed across
a lonely landscape from her high and
lofty terrace
Only the mere flickering of candlelight
would illumine her royal quarters and
she would fondle the fringes of the castle
odrapery dreaming the dream of love
She only met him once on the field of
battle yet for those few moments their
eyes locked in time with a promise of love
safeguarded by an illusive wind
She would attend the royal banquets
She would dally with the court jesters
and even throw them the shadows of
an impossible hope
How long would the days drag on?
What were the chances that his hands
would lift her sleek form as a captured
doe and watch her lay limp in surendered
passion
The night had died
Her hope was dying as
she lay naked in tears
and black pearls
It was only that small
scuffled sound that brought
a tinge of hopefullness to
a darkened heart
A lone figure stood at the
entrance to her chamber..
It was him..
Silently, he approached
her bed letting drop his iron
helment
Her glazed eyes closed with
hot tears..
He fell upon her surendered
soul as a warrior takes the spoil
He was..The golden knight**

Striking lightening
this love forever pines
away drifting in a desert oasis
an angel's voice sweetly sings
so sweet my unforgettable dream

Inside this you are darling
shining brightest of all stars
liquid silver shivering
the moon begins to weep
starlight crystals winking droplets fall
love you are each one

A beautiful memory
touching so deeply
that i will never forget
as long as i live,
the very first kiss
joining lips breathtaking
with you my love complete

Who would have known that a simple drive could start such a chain of events.
A country road leading no where....time well spent.
Watching as the miles go by. Like years in a life.
I can honestly say its been a good ride.
Low on gas not sure if stopping is what I want to do.
I think I might be able to make it another mile or two.
Use to think I had a destination but now it hides.
To be honest I think I have always been here just for the ride.
Sometimes I might go a little bit to fast.
But then I see something and roll to a stop.
But it just doesn't seem to last.
Wheels will start to roll and sing with the highway.
Like a childhood melody I love to hear play.

Who are you,
to occupy my thoughts so quickly?
Why do I,
feel I already know you?
My thoughts are,
full of endless possibilities.
I worry about,
the suddenness of my wanting.
Whirlwinds and hurricanes,
Soft breezes by comparison

Who are you,
to blindside me so completely?
Why do I,
feel that I've so much to show you?
My thoughts are,
full of new old emotions.
I worry about,
the all things I could mess up.
It feels so dream like,
but I don’t want to wake up.

In the depths of the Underdark
Evil drow lurk, waiting to embark
On a journey of malevolence and spite
But we'll stop them dead tonight

With our blades and arrows, we'll cut through their ranks
We won't falter, we won't give thanks
For this is our mission, our calling, our fate
To rid the Underdark of their hate

The darkness consumes us, but we press on
Not seek rest till every drow is done
Our minds mayhap weary, our bodies mayhap weak
But we'll keep fighting till their total defeat

The Drow's Demise, it's what we seek
To bring an end to thier world, so very bleak
With vengence in our hearts minds and souls
We fight on till we reach our righteous goal

So let us sing a song of victory
For this battle won't be some mystery
Our hearts are pure, our cause is just
And with our music, we'll crush the drow As we must

Chopin from white ivory

skills of the master player

on this deeply polished piano

and from the verandah

they all enter elegantly

women in hats

men in suits

stripes are the order

champagne quaffed

from flute glasses

and the laughter

goes up and down the hallways

as if the war had never been

We all have special memories of our Mom

Playing outside until she would holler come

The times we held her hand and felt safe

Or when she punished us with tears on her face



The first to tell me about my Savior

Telling me to follow his example for my behavior

Pointing to his picture on my bedroom wall

Saying He protects me if I but call



Store these precious memories everyday

For future times when you can remember and say

Thank you Mom for all you have done

For giving me these precious memories for when you are gone
