A Brief Look Back, From Solid Ground

[jadxia]

I have pondered the unponderable,
stormed the wide walls, wandered fell and fen
and glade and dale, cast my net across the vale.
Sunk in sorrow, cried in joy, and yet...
I let you play me like a toy,
and in the end...

you were nothing I would get or buy,
you awful boy,
you were nothing but a lie.
-- Jade Lauron

"Dear as remembered kisses after death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feigned
On lips that are for others; deep as love,
Deep as first love, and wild with all regret;
O Death in Life, the days that are no more."

---Lord Tennyson

Wow, that's quite a complement!

You compared something I spit out to Tennyson. I'm deeply touched. Thank you.
