"Sir Lancelot's Ode to Lady Guenevere..."

How I wished I was NUMB...
        But then I couldn't have felt thy reciprocation even for a whilst;

I wished, too, to be MUTE...
        But then again if I was, thou wouldn't have known of thine true feelings for thee;

Still, I wished I was BLIND...
        But then, too, I would've failed seeing thine love deep within thy mesmerizing eyes.

Aye, FATE was so cruel to have bested me faculties
But so sweet to make me realize

That if I didn't see...
            didn't feel...
            nor didn't speak...

I wouldn't have known that I am capable
            of knowing...
            of loving...
            of revering someone...

In just three mornings...

Yet suffer it FOREVER!

"Flame"

He holds her as if
She was his life...
His kisses lingered
Like there's no tomorrow...

She was his candle
Her Love was his light
And so he laid his hopes
On a candle flame.

As the candle burns brightly
So does his dreams...
His faith trembles
As it dances to the wind...

Each day he holds on to the flame
Hoping...
Praying...
It would never flicker
That her love would stay aflame.
