You're welcome Snippy and Feather. Just my small contribution to the Lair.

I liked the Last Leaf poem, so glad I found the perfect graphic.

[Darksheare]

That was Amy Lee and Ben Moody from the band Evanescence.

A bit of a more darker look at it:

evanescence - even in death

give me a reason to believe that you're gone
i see your shadow so i know they're all wrong
moonlight on the soft brown earth
it leads me to where you lay
they took you away from me but now i'm taking you home

[chorus]
i will stay forever here with you
my love
the softly spoken words you gave me
even in death our love goes on

some say i'm crazy for my love, oh my love
but no bonds can hold me from your side, oh my love
they don't know you can't leave me
they don't hear you singing to me

[chorus]
i will stay forever here with you
my love
the softly spoken words you gave me
even in death our love goes on
and i can't love you, anymore than i do

i will stay forever here with you
my love
the softly spoken words you gave me
even in death our love goes on
and i can't love you, anymore than i do

i'll die, but real love is forever

Good afternoon all at the Lair! Hope you're having a Great Halloween!

Ok, so I'm only a part-time vampire....some of these chock-lit donuts will hit the spot right about now. *giggle*

[Soaring Feather]

Good Afternoon Radu!! How are you??

Woo Hoo!!
So nice of you to stop in The Lair
Thanks for the great graphic.

[snippy_about_it]

Oh my goodness no. I could look it up for you though if you'd like?

[Soaring Feather]

I don't think these lines are all that dark.

I have seen and heard much darker.

[snippy_about_it]

Darksheare dear, I hope you don't mind but I've brought your image over here to see if it will inspire some prose. It says a lot and of course we don't mind looking at you either. hehe.

[snippy_about_it]

something is lost i cannot retrieve
yet deep within me she will not leave

forever etched upon my heart
my darling love and I shall never part

[radu]

How do, ms. feather?

COOOOOOOL graphics!! Wish I looked as good as Elvira. Never gonna happen.....too late. *giggle*

Dragon in Flight
by Trikebuilder

There amid the towering white towers of clouds he flew,
against that bright cerulean sky, and I rode him with joy.
Swift as the very wind, and bright as the morning sun,
his scales of deep emerald green sparkled like jewels.

Just us two to challenge the sweeping sky,
and the imperial towers of ivory shade.
Daring to top the highest tower,
or swooping into depths of hidden gloom.

Dancing in the air, in halls of crystal fragments high,
I see the last lights of day on swirling vapors play.
We venture into palaces of the air, and do so without care,
conquering the moment upon our estates we fly.
Wide his wings, that crack with mighty power,
lifting us to places only we can go alone.
His lashing tail sweeps the sky in warning of our strength,
and we ascend the cloudy staircase to grandeur.

He has talons like iron, and claws of tempered steel,
and a hide decorated with green armored scales.
This mighty beast is my true friend, and we journey yet again,
touching the sky, and wondering at our freedom as we fly.

************************

Trikebuilder left this poem last night.
I want for everyone to see his work.
Trikerbuilder, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you snippy for bringing Darkshear's work into The Lair.

Thank you Darksheare for your sharing your wonderful talent with us.

[Soaring Feather]

Always so nice when you do a fly by radu!

Perhaps no person can be a poet, or can even enjoy poetry, without a certain unsoundness of mind.

Trick or Treat

A Dream Within a Dream

Take this kiss upon the brow!

And, in parting from you now,

Thus much let me avow-

You are not wrong, who deem

That my days have been a dream;

Yet if hope has flown away

In a night, or in a day,

In a vision, or in none,

Is it therefore the less gone?

All that we see or seem

Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar

Of a surf-tormented shore,

And I hold within my hand

Grains of the golden sand-

How few! yet how they creep

Through my fingers to the deep,

While I weep- while I weep!

O God! can I not grasp

Them with a tighter clasp?

O God! can I not save

One from the pitiless wave?

Is all that we see or seem

But a dream within a dream?

Edgar Allan Poe

[snippy_about_it]

LOL! I resemble that remark!!

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning everyone!!
Today is November 1, 2003.

Quote for the day.

Many politicians are in the habit of laying down as self-
evident the proposition that no people ought to be free
till they are fit to use their freedom. This maxim is
worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go
into the water till he had learned to swim.
Thomas Babington Macauley (1800-1859) English politician

Good morning feather. I'm off to run some errands and will stop back later.

Lighting Candles At Twilight and Dawn

I lit a candle

in the sanctuary of my soul 

it flickers nearly out, yet, holds to

 the fire that is me, 

it lives where prying eyes 

have no entrance into the sanctuary 

where deafening, shrill, 

jangling sounds of silence are the

wretched hauntings

of lighting candles alone

...in quiet times between 

twilight and dusk...
