Hi people, was just looking thru my old notebook and decided to share this poem with u all.. though most of u all have already seen it! haha... now u can have a copy of it for urself! Dun need to thank me =) ok fine.. i just want to post it la ok??? LOL here's Mercedes Lackey's Sun & Shadows
She dances in the shadows, like the shadows is her hair, Her eyes hold midnight captive, like a phantom fell and fair. While the woodlarks sing the measures her flying feet retrace, She dances in the shadows like a dream of darkling grace. He sings in summer sunlight to the cloudless summer skies His head is crowned with sunlight and the heaven's in his eyes. All the wildwood seems to listen to the singer's gladsome voice He sings in summer sunlight and all those who hear rejoice. She dances in the shadows for a doom upon her lies That if once the sunlight touches her the Shadowdancer dies. And on his line is this curse laid that once the day is sped In sleeplike death he lies again until the night has fled. One evening in the twilight that is neither day nor night, the time part bred of shadows, and partly born of light, A trembling Shadowdancer heard the voice of love and doom That sang of summer sunlight by a lake serene and still. A spell it lay upon her, and she followed in its wake. To where Sunsinger sang it all unheeding by her lake. She saw the one that she must love until the day she died, Bitter tears for bitter loving then Shadowdancer cried. One evening in the twilight ere his curse could work its will Sunsinger sang of sunlight by a lake serene and still. When out amongst the shadows stepped a woman fey and fair, A woman sweet as twilight with the shadows in her hair. He saw her and he loved her and he knew his love was vain, For he was born of sunlight and must be the shadows' bane. So ere his curse could claim him then he shed a bitter tear, For he knew his only love must too be his only fear. So now they meet at twilight, though they meet only to part. Sad meetings, sadder partings and the breaking of each heart. Why blame them if they pray for time or death to bring a cure? For the sake of bitter loving nonetheless they will endure.
~~~ haha.. that was nice wasn't it? now.. shall i post Sun and Shadows part 2?? =) hoi
