But, Forever

*walks in and up to the boards.*

I yield to you writing prowess. Our little poem battle has resulted in my defeat and your victory. Once I can think clearly again we shall resume with another poem battle until them may the spirits of all the past writers keep your pen moving.

Corwin Sha'Kar

*Corwin once again walks to the boards*

From the dawn of time we love,
Until the end of love there's hate,
While there's hate,
There's death,
While there's death,
There's hope....
To live on.

Corwin Sha'kar

Looks amused as she presses her reply just under his, white brows perked.

If there is a god then let it linger not,
Let my uncertain feelings never rot
Nor take their roots inside my heart.
Instead, lock them out with unfeeling dark.
Outside my heart, let them waste away
With sickly disease, may they decay.
I tried to throw them away, upon a time
But they would not go, they were mine.
So I swayed to and fro and fro and to,
Not knowing now, like then, what to do
Or where to turn my harrowed tears
Or stitch myself with unfounded fears.
So love stole briefly into my life
And caused yet again, no end of strife,
No end of aches inside who I am,
No end to what or where it began.
So I laid it aside, I did not hate
But mourned that this will be my fate,
My empty lot and unsown land.
This all I am, as His right hand.
But my sorrow strong, my sadness clotted
As love on the landscape blotted
The darker days and the distant eyes
That looked upon immortal skies
And there in looking, found just me.
Stood singular, apart from society.

But dream for me, a little longer perhaps
A little sweeter; that I might lapse
And love again with all of my youth
Will adverse ways not a hinder of truth
And the lot would flourish, my eyes see
Again. No clouds or tears, but be free.
So dream that dream for me, and just
Me, for I cannot ever put down such trust.
I am gone, I am swayed and abused.
My life sworn to someone else, used
Like the cure all, like the be all and end all
And sometime distant on that white wall
And parapet looking down on you, I'll know
You dreamed for me, me alone. So go,
Take these feelings, so they linger not
Without hate, so my love may never rot.

And so this night has set upon me.
As the darkness envelopes me,
I see the gentleness in your eyes,
I know then, that in death,
I dared to love someone beyond my reach.

And so this day dawns,
I see a fair and gentle angel,
I know then, that in life,
My love was returned.

And so this day moves forward,
I see the love and caring in those eyes,
I see my future and my hope,
I see the woman I care for and love,
I know then,
That I am truly lucky.

And so I see my beauty before me,
I realize how beautiful she really is,
I also realize how much of my thoughts,
Are devoted to this one gorgeous human,
And I dare say, I Love You.

Pinned close by;

Each day, each night
Each early waking light
And fluttered birds in the sky,
I love you less, love will die.

Each sun, each star
Each moon set high and far,
With every wish you forsook;
A torn page in my diary book.

Each hate, each love,
Each prayer sent to up above
Ignored them each and every one,
For you only lied, you are gone.

Each tear, each breath,
Each time I believe less,
In what you said, what you do
The plans we made, unjust, untrue.

Each scar, each sin
Each and everything;
And so my love, I confess,
Each time my heart beats a little less.

Each love, each hate,
Each entangled with my fate
I kiss the fool, I lose my temper
A misery of mockery to remember.
