A poem dedicated to Akaii

Written by: Raging Beauty Shyann C. Storm, Lady of Shallam
Date: Thursday, January 17th, 2002
Addressed to: Everyone


Man in the void, I hear your call
Those words you spoke, before our fall
You reach out for hearts, to bend and twist
Love hides now, in a mysterious mist
Mistakes you made, only you can see
Love a comfort? Now thats philosophy

Why speak poetry, you wont ever understand
What I lost, is in rare demand
Nothing comes tainted, until you embrace it
In my hopes and dreams, I wish I could erase it
The picture of you, your arms holding me
I hope this poem shall make you see


When love is given, it is nurtured with care
When love is taken, it is lost in a stare
A stare into those eyes, so cold and true
Leaving you empty, not knowing what to do
The giver seeks comfort, lost in their tears
The taker seeks pity, surrounded by peers


Then the time comes, when the sad one awakens
They look at their loss, realizing who was mistaken
In the end it was them, because they didnt want to believe
That the person they loved, would ever really leave
He cared not for her, she was another step to take
She loved him truly, that is why her heart did break


Penned by my hand on the 16th of Khepary, in the year 61 MA.
