Not really poetry.

Written by: Lady Aeilan Sheolan, the Snow Queen
Date: Saturday, July 22nd, 2000
Addressed to: Everyone


This is my first addition to this board, as there was no other proper home for it. I wonder if any of you can guess who it is dedicated to, hmm? *wry grin*


But a smile, that familiar curve of humour, and I am spellbound.
But a word, a sigh, and I am awestruck.
Your motions, your motives confound me,
As do Nature's other Forces.
How can I, mere mortal, resist you?
I long for a whisper, a kiss, though I deserve them not.
And such a kiss!
With all the promise of the Fall,
The temptation of Grace plundered,
Surely to linger is damnation.
But, ah! To be damned thus!
Where is the suffering in that sweetest of Hells?
I fain would burn for your caress,
Than for lack of it.
Kiss me, then, for any other torment
Can only pale by comparison.


Comments, suggestions, etc. can be forwarded to the proper authorities, as soon as I've decided who they are.

Penned by my hand on the 1st of Phaestian, in the year 253 AF.
