[QUOTE="Bhryn Astairre, post: 2562161"] [b]Secrecy[/b] [font=times new roman]She turned to him, all unknowing. A single smile rapturous grace. Finger lifted upright and a faint twinkle, sing Out from blue depths, she says: "Catch a falling star for me and make it ever mine. Give it my name and my soul. As long as I have life like that star, time Can pass me by, however cruel." He shook his head, pale locks whipping unchecked, Fair as she was dark inside. But he held a smile crooked and dimple cheeked For her. For those flat eyes. He replied, "If I could reach then I would, But alas, I am only human. Forfeit those stars and come away, we could Have forever, a day. If you can "Yet give up your nightly dreams, then gladly Do I follow. Let me follow you, Wherever you may go." His vibrant laugh, hardly Forced. The answer known was ever true. Not out of her self but truly ensconced Her look was sad, black. Moonlight spins on her where sun denounced He. But under that light back Comes that reminder of what she is. Who she is. Iron fisted duty. Tilting her head, birdlike, she lays hands on his Arm. "I cannot go. I cannot be or live without that which is sunk into my bones. This is my world, can you not somehow Come and stay forever? Come, take home Here and I will always care for you. Now "Is your choice, for I am set. I am made and set And tested and true. I am." 'Are you?' that unspoken query. He could not yet Look upon her and damn Away his life. Condemned words for a man who is Sentenced and tried by his own measure. Stiff backed, shaking head, pulling away his Arm to feel warmth gone. "Leisure "Perhaps you have, but I don't. I can't stay And grow old, while you remain Young forever." How sad those black eyes that day And tears of salt to stain. She could have but said a simple phrase And how he would have stayed. But... she didn't. Across the wide ways Of the heavenly abode, she made Her last stand. The stars were bright and born To shine. They graced her skin Setting her alight, aglow. Blessed by fortune, scorn Touched her lips slightly. Akin To the temper of a woman scorned, knowing it. The city was a dream and reality: It would endure as he passed, like she. Bit Back on a tear, she breathed softly Life into those words: "I know." Anything else, he wanted to scream, Say just anything else but that, I don't want to go. She turned away, struck by the moonbeams As the moment passed and was never to be reclaimed. "I know," echoed he, sadder than He had though possible. Her shoulders shook, untamed By greater pride. What should he, can He do? He almost touched her as she whispered: "You should go now. I do Not wish for you to see me cry." White winged bird, Celestial born woman. Through And through he replayed it ever after, stood on the breach To balance fortune on his hand's back. The night of stars and of regret, colour leeched From everything but rain misted eyes of black. [B]Bhryn[/B][/font] [/QUOTE]
