See, I think you actually had this^ poem when you started the thread, but you posted that other one as a decoy, and once you had lured everyone in with the somewhat innocuous verse...WHaMMO!
How devilish!

Some of you may have read this when we had our Stevie contest a few months ago, but for those of you who haven't here it is.





"In Her"


In her I can feel the pain of the world
Like prayers unanswered by God
In her I touch the anguish
That only she feels just
In her I can see the darkness
Like the time before acceptance
In her I can feel a burden
One that she solely bears
Like a wooden cross upon the back of all humanity
In her I view real life, a trueness of self,
Not looking for acceptance from most
Only those who have felt the same hopelessness at their feet
In her I can see independence, dying to be set free,
Only too scared of what lies waiting out beyond the storms
In her I see genteel frailty shielded wearily with superficial strength
As she tries to face the steely world about
In her I search the harsh world that has educated her soul
A world she wishes to alter in hopes of healing her wounds
Only to be lost down the winding road that took her gods to salvation
In her I face myself

[RavenOfRhiannon]

In the darkness that is her symbol
The wind starts to blow making trees tremble
Silhouetted against the moon her dark form appears
Upon her face are the tracks of her tears

With a gesture from her hand the winds suddenly cease
All is now quiet the forest at peace
She walks with purpose to a solitary grave
And remembers the story of this lonely knave

In his life he committed a single crime
He had loved a witch saying I will make her mine
They were happy together as all could tell
But some say he was under a spell

Then one day a child disappeared
The village cried It's The Witch! Run In Fear!
They dragged her through the streets and locked her in a cage
Her blood began to boil her mind began to rage

She unleashed her powers Hell rained down
Fire and brimstone destroyed the town
Everyone died including her love
When out of the sky came a white winged dove

It settled upon the dead hand of her knave
And cried why is he dead, it is he you must save
The witch cried I cannot restore life
The dove replied You will never become his wife

The figure turns to disappear
It will not return for another year
All that is left is a grave marked Shannon
The figure was his love the Witch called...

Rhiannon

You may wish to add the word "Stevie Nicks" a few more times
so that people know who it's about.
TEASIN'! TEASIN'! ROCK ON!

HOLY CRIPE this is good!

[Ghost_Tracker]

OH-kay, so this is a little poem about Stevie that I wrote almost a
year ago - I don't pretend that this is publishable or even all that good,
it's just a little "thingy" that I wrote for fun. There's some tense changes
and stuff but hey, "that's just the POET that i AM!" ( )
Anyway, here it is - it's just meant as a little "compliment" to
The Stevester.


Rattlesnakes Sound in the Distance



"Rattlesnakes sound in the distance.
Sun blooms over the desert.
Shimmering shivers of heat,
scintillate up to the sky –
but all that they do
is make her ask why.
And serve to point out –
The desparately cold frost
on a hill that seems monstrously high.

Has all been lost?
Or is there still a way to get by?
She points, we look up –
shooting star streaming across the sky.
“No THERE!” (she reminds us).
It is Rhiannon, of course.
We try to take flight
but can’t reach to that height.
“Silly! You must first learn to fall!” said she,
(as rattlesnakes sounded in the distance. . . )

But Rhiannon, she calls
For us to bust through these walls -
As the bitter cold
of the Planets of the Universe . . .
helps us to be warm.

It’s from love that she falls, fell, will have fallen –
But that got us started talkin’
about what love is (as rattlesnakes sounded in the distance).

And now the desert floor begins to shake,
from a thousand ancient little earthquakes
and from players who turned out to be fakes.
“Hah!” she laughs. To me this is steady
(and it helps me get you ready! . . .)

Then the three birds, they dive down.
“A mountain!? To us it’s a clown!”
- They swoop down, whoosh by, the ice explodes
in a glittering gale of fairy-tale glamorie!
“What are those birds?” we ask less-one-clue.
“Why don’t you know?” (she secretly smiles).
“Honey, that’s easy –
they’re you!”


So - that's it!

Thanks! That is very kind of you. I will have to say that Ghosttracker and RavenofRhiannon's poems are just terrific. Much better than mine, IMhumbleO. But, I'm happy with my little ode to Stevie.

I love your poem GDW77, and I thank you and the others for the very nice things said about mine.
