You = 0, I = One You Followed me to my secret lair.. with thoughts of romance to Share. Winding steps traipse up the Tower.. Where you Spy me in my bedroom bauer. You Beg to Share a kiss or two.. But I'd rather eat the tongue of my shoe. Perhaps a glass of Crystal, you suggest.. I respond, Oh, surely you jest? You express your love like a wild Monsoon, I Add that your mad and bark at the moon. You say my tongue whips like a Lash.. Leaving fragments of your heart to Crash. I cry its because of your wondering lust, That you have left our love in the Dust. The magic is lost the luster is gone.. A heart is broken..You=0, I = One. Earth is the insane asylum for the universe.

Endlessly Forgotten in the long ago Her broken heart remembers, though A hidden life, a secret time When even words refused to rhyme He said he’d follow where she’d lead And for a time he did, indeed Until one day he turned to go Refused to hear her begging, so She climbed the tower high above The place she’d given all her love And gazed into the sea below Where crashing waves reflect the glow Of crystals dancing on the tide A place she brought her heart to hide The love she felt, she longed to share And twined it in her flowing hair A flower or two she chose to add And left a note upon a pad Then summoned up the wind to roil Within a monsoon she did toil To take her heart, for safety’s sake, To dusty caverns by the lake Where never more would any spy A diamond tear fall from her eye Feel the passion, walk in peace, live in love....Ari

Okay--admit to having three tries at this...first one began as a ballad about a woman named Crystal Dust...but that would be toooooooooooooo long and I couldn't get the stanzas right. Then....I tried the following In the monsoon season of my emotions the clouds of grief tower above me and obscure my view My heart crashes and shatters into crystal dust. Do I beg? What can I add that has not already been told? My heart onced spied upon will not follow or share its secrets. Yuck...the two stanzas just don't fit together either in image or meaning....blech... Each alone is okay...but together...nope. Soooooooooooooooo finally Their fields lie fallow the swallows will not follow the weapons were not turned into plough shares The towering clouds dropped rain. Some thought “monsoon.” Some were silent their hearts crashing. Others chanted loud prayers to the sound of the howling winds begging the gods for mercy for they had spied the plane and their once verdant home was turned into crystal dust. Okay still not particularly fabulous...but at least the imagery works and is consistent...gad Muse--this one was hard... Back to the ballad now! (all I can hear is Marty Robbin's voice..."Out of the west....") Wishing you happiness Misty Wishing you happiness Misty

Hi Muse, I'd like to thank you for this gesticulation. I'm really learning a lot by reading your poems and this excersice. Thanks. Here's mine To follow crazily, madly, hot Is like a plague rather a spy If by the monsoons you get swept Pray you crash not insanely After a fall, pick up yourself and wipe off dust Like crystal though you won’t get shiny, But a beggars blend in you won’t fit, So then don’t forget to share sweetly Because this aspect will add flavor to your trust And tall like a tower you will stand solemnly.

Flight. We fled the following storm As beggars cloaked Like spies and crashed Upon these crystal shores Where monsoon dust Added misery To the towering ruin Of all we'd shared.

Wow, all the poems so far are great. I'm just going to put one reply for those 5 so as not to mess up the page where all your pieces are so nicely displayed, lol. Kismet - Great rhyme (I've never been able to do one of these challenges in rhyme) I like the strong theme and the way you got the words flowing Great work and thanks for taking part Weelittlefox - Great story entwined in the lines, and great imagery in the use of the words. I enjoyed. title is clever too. Great and thanks for giving the challenge a go. Ari - Fab. I really enjoyed this sad tale of lost love. It's quite vividly woven and easy for the reader to see. Great piece. I hope you enjoyed the challenge Thanks for joining in the fun.Misty - I think they are both great I did enjoy the first one, it has a strong start, and maybe just playing around with the second stanza would iron out the flow??? You could always post again once you're pleased with the end result. I enjoyed it anyway Second piece - I like the way it has a strong feel of impending doom. The build up is great You did fantastic with the words and sorry, lol. Didn't mean to make it difficult. lol. I haven't tried out the words yet. Have fun with the ballad Thanks for taking part.Supaar2 (Michael) - You're welcome Michael. I hope you had fun with the challenge. I like the way you used the words, and the imagery of being swept up and then having to dust yourself off afterwords. Life's like that Great work and I'm glad you took the challenge Blog Muse2u

Gowerboy - That one is full of mystery. Where did they come from and what were they fleeing from? It makes the reader stop and think about the possibilities. (I decided on a futuristic civil war...lol) Great use of the words Fantabulous, thanks for taking part again. Blog Muse2u

Okily dokily i'll ave a go but i ain't 'ad me pint o caffeine yet so i ain't even gonna try to rhyme.lol There is crystal dust in our eyes. Every day we mine for jewels Adding gems to the tower we build. So much we could bare to share With the beggars and seagull spies who follow our love, come drought or monsoon. But one day this monument to our relationship will surely come crashing down For it is built on the sands of lust. ehh!

Jake - Great work with the words, and all without caffeine.  I like the sentiment of the poem but it's sad at the end. Lust can turn to love though, so I'll think of it that way, lol. Thanks for taking part Blog Muse2u

The Tower In the crystal dust tower of all that she knew the Follower crashed to beg a monsoon. She shared as she could but he added some more: the tower of dust smacked him flat to the floor. Her eyes bleeding tears she spied through the haze but move she could not through the smokey white maze. Peace .. elaine67
