Description walk down this path with me.
i shall be a gentle guide
holding your hand along the way.
with wary glances cast upon
the pale-faced stranger,
you ask yourself
can he be trusted?

be not afraid;
i shall not harm you.

there are many roads
within this aged heart
that knows not the years
but has sensed the miles
of a hundred lifetimes already.
tales regaled and sorrows shared,
he paints you a picture
of loves lost
battles won
the solitary status of
his jaded soul.
the one he loves
above all others.
the temptation he harbors
above all others.
and the dualistic mind;
the sinner mixed with saint.
the devil mixed with hero.
torn asunder into two
forged together into one.
he has two names
but one identity.
one calling
one desire
one all-consuming lust
that explains what he is
the moment you catch
that wicked glint within
his ethereal eyes.

be not afraid, though;
i shall not harm you.

walk down this path with me
and perhaps we shall form
beauty from sadness
order from chaos.
perhaps this twisted soul
will make more sense
on the other side of the road.
take my hand
and i shall guide you,
as careful as a lover.
an immortal poet
trapped within
the stillness of the night.

Very nice, but of anyone, I couldn't see you Not doing the challenge. It was from your journal that I started, and woe is me, I've only written the one. lol.

Is this a vampire? One word: sexy. Also love it how I don't know whether or not this person should be trusted... Exciting.

A vampire indeed. Rest assured I mind my manners, though.
Always a bit of uncertainty with an immortal by your side, though, isn't there?

Thank you for the compliments.

Alive, speaking relatively of course.
It thrills me to see you happy, Jazz. Thank you for your kind words.

Alas, I still do not have the hang of this netspeak, as you can see. I intended to work on it some, but time has not been on my side.

Well, only a bad thing if I should learn it. I do not wish to be the relic flitting about the internet in all of his snobbish profundity. I may be damned to such a fate anyway. After all, my best friend is over a century old.

Robin does much better than I give him credit; I'm merely being the bratty younger brother.

Holding your breath? Surely you did not fear me biting you again, did you?

denlm In reply to peterdawes [2008-05-17 13:45:13 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure fear was the right word. What I meant though was I had been holding my breath waiting for more of your wonderful poetry.

peterdawes In reply to denlm [2008-05-17 22:28:08 +0000 UTC]

Ah! That type of breath-holding.

My apologies. It feels good to be home again.

Dearest Peter, this was amazing. I'm not one for poetry but yours grabs me and tells a story. I can't wait for the other 99, I would love to walk with you. ^^

Maybe I can get Seleane to do a 100 theme something when she's done with current work. It could be of my life. That would be rather intriguing for all parties involved.

Quite the compliment, my dear. Thank you for the favorite. I hope Seleane enjoys the exercise as well.

I can't wait to see this rest, if this is what you can come up with just on the theme of 'Introduction' ^_^ We've missed your work.

It is good to be missed. It implies one is cared for.

Well said, Peter. If it does take a while, it will be worth the journey. It is, after all, not the destination which in the end has substance, but all the things passed along the way.

It sha'n't be a sojourn for you, Friend Sanguinarian, Herioc Evil, Saintly Sinner. No, you'll have many companions alongside, and I -- I shall be among them.

Take care Peter. Find respite for heart and mind and know you've a friend in me. Best to Robin.
