A
QUIET THOUGHT
©1998
Campfire
lit
The
eerie glow
Illuminates
your face
Your
smile, your touch
Your
sparkling eyes
Betray
your inner grace
I
think perhaps
I
knew you once
A
long, long time ago
I
study hard
What
lies within
The
soul I've come to know
And
then I see
The
one I seek
One
lost years back in time
Because
my friend
Your
mirror showed
That
pneuma to be mine
BE
MY SALVATION
Keep
me on the path of right
Through
the bad times dark as night
Help
me make sure I don't slide
Back
across that great divide
Make
me face whatever fears
That
haunted me throughout the years
Tell
me when I've chosen wrong
Or
go somewhere I don't belong
Watch
me when I'm tempting fate
Remind
me that it's not too late
Give
me courage to say when
I've
done it wrong and try again
Find
me when I lose my way
Don't
let sin lead me astray
You
are the one I look up to
You've
helped me start my life anew
With
you walking by my side
I'm
able to stand tall with pride
My
special friend you are to me
Everything
I want to be
CALLISTO'S
HOPE
Emptiness
overwhelms me
No
exquisite delight
Revenge
so longed for
Has
no sweetness
I
thought that her pain
Would
end my agony
Instead,
I feel nothing
No
satisfaction, no hatred
Now
I am free once more
Given
a dire mission
A
promise made
A
glimmer of hope
Hope.
How ironic
That
name so inspirational
Brings
exactly the opposite...
Domination
by pure evil
Still,
the chance is mine
To
change the wrong
Which
chained my heart
And
took away my soul
ILLUSIA-ons
By Callisto
Xena
be quick
Xena
be wise
Xena
you pick
The
prize for your lies.....
**************************************
Spin
the wheel
And
choose your fate
It's
your choice, dear
It's
not too late
Just
jump right through
You
must atone
I
am your guide
You're
not alone
Ahhh,
here you are
Now
face your sins
We're
all here, sweet
While
the wheel spins
So
conquer each
To
free your soul
And
when you do
You
will feel whole
And
in the end
The
bond that's true
Will
free your friend
And
you, pet, too......
I
WALK ALONE
I
walk alone, why must it be
That
all of this tragedy happened to me
I
learned how to hate, how to kill, how to lie
Enjoying
it each time I made people die
I
walk alone, no love in my heart
She
took away all of where it would start
I
watched my whole world disintegrate
I
couldn't stop it, I grew up too late
Forever
my idol, my enemy, my love
I've
placed her upon that pedestal above
I
must be like she was, always so cold
Laying
waste to mankind, both young and old
I
walk alone in darkness and death
Committing
destruction with every breath
I
want her to know what she's caused me to be
Because
after all she's the one who made me
Each
evil act will make her pay
She'll
understand it started that day
It's
not my fault, it's all on her head
I
hate being me, I want her dead
Why
can't I forget her, why do I obscess
Yearning
for just one sweet caress
To
lay my head gently upon her knee
To
have her hold, love and comfort me
I
walk alone in torment and pain
I
only feel empty, I've nothing to gain
But
one day she'll be mine and fall in defeat
Who
needs love when revenge is so sweet
MY
INTIMATE STRANGER
I
see you
But
you're not there
You're
my friend
Yet
I still stare
I
can't come near
For
you are she
That
demon witch
My
enemy
I
must look close
To
see your soul
Forgive
me Xena
If
I lose control
My
heart still aches
In
agony
Her
hate for you
Taken
out on me
An
innocent life
Taken
in spite
And
now you're she
With
me tonight
I
want you near
Yet
I turn away
Not
ready yet
To
be close today
Perhaps
in time
I'll
get used to you
Being
inside her
But
now this is new
Please
hold me close
While
I close my eyes
Then
I'll know it's you
And
not Callisto's lies
Obligatory
Laundry Day Poem
People
ask me
Just
what I see
Watchin'
those driers
Spin
the laundry.
Why
does your muse
Have
this excuse
To
be so inspired
By
this weekly noose?
Well,
actually she hates
Our
regular date
And
pays me back royally
Ahhh....such
is fate!
I'll
start to think
About
those who link
Our
lives together
My
mind starts to kink.
It
sees two close friends
Help
make amends
And
battles and strife
And
new forum trends.
Then
I hear mad taunting
That
voice is so haunting
Saying,
"Now Red, my pet
Start
those words flaunting!"
I'll
start to write
It's
no use to fight
My
muse is Callisto
She
does it for spite!
"Ahhh
hahahahahahaha!!!
same
old torture, every day, every day......
ONE
HAND REACHES
The
truth revealed
Two
lies were told
One
price - two deaths
The
other - one soul
The
gentle heart
Releases
hate
Her
repentance showed
It's
not too late
The
darker heart
Her
lie hidden deep
Hoping
her act
Be
left to sleep
But
realization
Lights
the way
Her
courage strong
Confession
to say
Hatred
purged
She
finds freedom
To
cross the threshold
And
see her son
One
hand reaches
Through
liquid door
Forgiveness
shared
Two
bound once more
SO SUBTLE THE CHANGE
So subtle the change...
Your eyes
Once trusting
Once innocent
Once so full of life...
Now hesitating
Now knowing
Reflecting darkness
Your heart
Once free
Once joyful
Once loving...
Now chained
Now saddened
By cold reality
No longer you...
Now someone new
THE
VALENTINE RHYME
The
arrow shot
Right
through their hearts
And
hit it's mark, it seems
The
look that shows
Within
their eyes
Betraying
all their dreams
Their
fingers touch
Their
lips await
Trembling
with desire
The
time has come
For
them to join
The
spark ignites the fire.........
*************************************
I
could go on
And
tell you more
But
it's not nice to spy
So
we'll leave
These
two alone
And
never ask them why!
WARRIOR
REBORN
You
say my name
And
walk in fear
I'm
not the same
I
shed a tear
I've
tried to change
To
fight for right
You
find it strange
I
have that sight
You
don't believe
I
can reform
You
can't perceive
I've
been reborn
Listen
to me
I'm
done with war
Why
can't you see
That
was before
What
must I do
To
gain your trust
To
show I'm through
No
more blood lust
Wait,
here's my hand
Held
out in peace
I've
no demands
I've
found release
I
call you friend
You
feel the same
No
hate to send
When
you say my
WITH
APOLOGIES TO MR. POE
Once
upon a midnight dreary
Spoilers
spilling plots so teary
People
leaving, oh so eerie.
Reading's
such a chore!
I
cannot keep myself from snoozing
Whilst
I try to go perusing
Seeing
posts that just keep oozing
"Please
don't spoil no more!"
What
to read? Now that's the problem.
Spoiler
marks? Yeah! That'll solve 'em.
I'll
open this. Oh no, an odd one.
No
way to be sure.
Oh
well, I'll just have to be patient
Or
else take a forum vacation
Reading
things not in relation
To
Xenaverse lore.
But
then I'd miss you all so dearly
Cause
you've all become so nearly
Family
I love sincerely
Writing
stories for.
So,
should I stop my midnight lurking
Just
because of spoiler irking
And
be accused of poetry
Quoth
RedPrincess......Nevermore!!!!
