I had trouble with the title. OK, originally I had intended to write an Italian sonnet, but then I found that nothing but "death" rhymed with "breath," and being a bit attached to the rhyme I'd found, I decided to just settle with a Shakespearean sonnet.

Twists are neato.


Gift Of a Poor Man to His Love

Sweet love, the darkness comes in gentle grace.
With cold, her moonlight shows thy misty breath.
In beams, disperses shadows from thy face
As silent as the steps of calming death.
Lo! Winter rises whilst the spring decays!
All crops are harvested and food is gone.
Thy bony form grows paler with the days.
I’d kill to spare thine eyes, they skin, the dawn.
My darling, known I love thee truer than each star,
Each hour, each passing moment; more than life!
I’ll love thee whether thou art near or far.
Do not be frightened of this blessed knife.
To mortal things just whisper last goodbyes.
A final kiss, my love, then close thine eyes.

Needs another title!

Oh? Why?

And any suggestions?

The title does seem a little long, and I'm not sure where the "poor" comes from.  Perhaps "A Lover's Gift" would suffice?

Creepy and somewhat morbid, but creepy in a beautiful way. I like!

Talahir, have you made it your task to bump all of Rayne's forgotten poems to the top?:)  

If Fire is Earth desiring to be Wind,
And Water is Wind trying to be Earth,
What then is Fire wishing to be Water?

What?  I'd never do such a thing!  It's not like I thought I'd put my thoughts there and get 'em up to the top... or anything like that...
:hammer    Work it.

There's nothing wrong about drawing attention to nice poems. *smiles* I didn't realize so many of them in this archive never made it to the site.

Yeah. I was actually surprised to. I was going through Enalya's gallery and ran across one of her pictures that I had gained inspiration from. I wondered what happened to the poem, and started searching for it, and found it on page 7 of the site!

In any case, hopefully we can get some of these up.

Yeah, this is one of those creep, Hans Christian Andersen-like poems, I guess. Not sure where this one came from.

Renamed it to "Pauper's Gift" when putting it  up - unfortunately Rayne's not around for probably several more months, but I hope she's ok with this name:)

Files have been replaced again, but the question remains how long this will last. SMF support will have a look at the security problem.

It has been hacked. The third time in 3 days. I need to replace the changed files again (won't happen before evening) - and then see what the SMF support recommends as a strategy.

Artimidooor.. could you please add the Northern Sarvonian Tribe's map to the map menu? As you know, my mouse over does not work :( I could't find it right now, though I know it does exist somewhere.
