Goddess across the river

She speaks to me

In tongues of the ancients

I understand her not

But I´m willing to

Wait for eternity just to

Speak one word to her

And to finally understand

Her melodius voice.

Goddess across the river

She comes to me

In the night

Glowing radiantly

Of godly light

Her hopes high

That to-nite may be

The night I can

Finally understand her

But time and time again

Her hopes are dashed

And my heart trampled at

The pained look upon her

Face.

Night after night

I run to meet her

Ever afraid of

Being late

And losing

One precious second

With her.

I know not where she lives

Nor where she sheds

Her tears only where

We meet night after

Night it is past the

Forests, through the

glen, and over the bridge.

She sits on the other side

Of a small cascading

Waterfall, whilst I am

Stuck upon

The other shore.

She doesn´t come untill

After I´ve arrived and

She leaves before I´m

Ready to see her go.

I see not how she comes

Nor how she goes from

My sight, I know not

Whether she loves me

As trully as do I.

Nor do I know if I´m just

Paltry entertainment

Raptured by her beauty,

To allay her boredom

And to ease the burden

Of her eternal life.

Maybe I´m just a toy to

Play with on these

Long summer nights.

I hope and pray with

All my heart that my

Fears are not truths but

Still some small part of

Me screams it into my ears,

Overshadowing my love for

Her during the long day

We are apart, and ceasing

When we meet.

When we meet my heart,

Soul and mind light up

With a joy and fire I´ve

Not felt before and wish

To never end but when

We are apart a small voice

Speaks to me confusing

My heart soul and mind

Evermore.

I wish to say we shall

Always love each other

And never forget

I wish to say I shall

Always love her and

Never forget her,

But I can not for I know not

What her true feelings are,

Nor do I know what the

Future holds for us.

I´v wished time

And time again

For an eternal night

So that my love would

Not be carried away by

The dawn´s early fingers.

I´ve wished it not for

Sleep nor for rest, but

For the simple reason

To spend it with her

Gazing forever at

The stars and the moon

Even though we have yet

To touch each other or

To be able to speak

And hear each other.

I curse the sun all my

Waking hours, never

Forgiving it for taking

Away my love.

I curse it as it rises up

In all it´s splendor granting

All others their requests.

I sleep half the day away

In a quiet peaceless slumber

For it is not next to my love

That I lay but on a cold bed.

And I praise it as it sets,

Showing dusk´s radiant

Beauty to this tired eyes.

She is the Pschye

To my Cupid,

The elixir of life for

My tired bones

Without her I´d

Doubt I´d live

Much longer.

It´s been so long

Since I last saw her

It seems to my heart,

Ever dispairing in the

Sun, that Death shall

Visit me today.

As I walk through

The town square, I

Smile faintly at the

Playing children.

But to my soul´s

Delight the sun

Soon sets and

Dusk shows her

Brillaintly glowing

Colors painting

A perfect sky

For my love and I.

I can hear the last

Delighted laughs of

The children as they

Run home to their

Mother´s beckoning calls.

Now, Now

It is finally the time,

Now finally I shall

See her again and

Repair my heart,

And soul.

I run as fast

As my tired weak

Legs will take me,

Forcing every thing

I can out of them,

For yet again I have

Neglected to eat.

Still the impending

Visit of my love has

Given new wings

Of flight to

My aching legs,

The wind itself seems

To lend me its speed,

My feet barely touch

The soft forest floor.

I fly with all the speed

Of ancient Hermes,

Maybe he himself

Has lent me his

Boots of Flight,

I am not sure but

If he has I give him

My thanks times a

Thousand for his

Generosity to this

Poor soul.

Whomever or

Whatever has

Lent or given

Me this speed

It matters not

As long as I

Reach my love.

I reach the

Gurgling stream,

Out of breath

But filled with joy,

Marred only by a

Momentary fear

That I had missed her.

But it is allayed as she

Comes radiantly

As ever out of

The trees on the

Other side.

I had sitten down

On the soft luxuriant

Ggrass upon

Reaching the small

Concealed area that

Forever held my love.

Ah, my love how I

Wish I could speak

To you, from my heart

As I have dreamed of

For so long a time, that

It seems to me to have

Been an eternity since

The night we first meet.

She tries to speak to me

Again but to my heart's

Dispair I understand her

Not, she points to my left

On the Ground.

And there to my surprise

Is a small feast.

I waste a little time

Wondering where it had

Come from before I realized

I was starving, gobbling it up

I saw her smile at me.

After I finish I clean up the

Small area and look

Across the river.

My strength has been

Returned as has my

Determination and my mind.

She makes swimming motions

With her hands, I nod to

Show I understand and

Walk to the bank, looking

For a suitable starting place.

This side is full of strong

Currents and eddies

Only managable by raft.

In despair I walk

Towards the

Waterfall for one last

Hope of a good cast

Off spot.

I walk behind it and

Notice for the first

Time, a number

Of small ledges going

Across the waterfall

To the other bank.

I run back a little ways

To tell my love I´m

Coming. She had been

Sitting dejectedly upon

A rock.

I firmly resolve to never

Cause this again.

She looks up at my

Shouting and looks to

Where I point confused.

I run back and slowly,

Carefully make my way

Over to the bank.

As I jump off onto the

Bank she realizes finally

That our dream has come

And finally we can touch.

She runs over and jumps

into my arms a smile so

radiant it nearly blinded me .

"I knew you´d come for me."

I look startled at her.

"How did you know?"

"The stars told me."

She replies with a smile

Before kissing me.

I´ve never felt such joy or

Amazement in my entire life.

My goddess was

Finally in my arms.

"Pray my dear goddess

may I ask of you,

your name?"

She laughs her voice

Flowing like the wind

Over the clouds.

"Yes my god, but I am

only a mortal myself.

My name is Philomena Hallis."

"Ah but you have the

beauty and grace of

a goddess to me."

I disguise my surprise

And horror at hearing this

But as I gaze at her face ever

So lovely all my previous knowledge of the Hallis´s falls away.

"As do you my love."

"But if you are not a

goddess then from

whence came the feast?"

"I know not my love

it appeared as if by

magick."

"Maybe it is a blessing

from the Gods to tell

us that we may be

together, in happiness."

I think out loud my heart

And soul

So filled with joy that I

Feared that they may

Burst in a moment.

She looks up to the sky

And gasps in fear.

"What is it my love?"

"The sky, dawn is near."

I look to the skies and

Indeed dawn has reared

Its ugly head at us, in

All of its splendor, even I

who has a reason to

Despise its utter beauty

Cannot say that it is not

Indeed a spectacular site.

"But we have just meet

my love? Must we part

so soon?"

"I am afraid so, I shall

try to be here tomorrow

as well."

I gaze forlornly at her

Slowly retreating figure,

It seems to shimmer as

She walks away with

My heart.

I wander home listlessly

My soul bounding with

Joy and hope.

A sudden thought

Seizing me I hurry to my

Home to gather what

I need.

Anxiously I await the

Dusk once more

After frantically

Preparing for my love.

If all goes well, I shall

Never have to await

Beautiful Dusk and its

Shades of Pink and

Orange again.

I hurry to the waterfall

Straining slightly under

The weight of my pack.

I hurry across the ledge

In hopes of being able

To wait for her on her

Shore.

She waits for me

Anxiously on a large

Rock her worried face

Turns towards me.

"My love, I´d feared

you become ill, or

forgotten me."

"No never could I forget

you. Not once since the

moment I first saw you

on the bank. I still do not

know why I was drawn

here that night but

whatever power made

it possible I thank them

with all my might."

Relieved she rests her

Beautiful head upon

My chest. I fear she

Hears my heart beat

For the only thing that

Drowns it out in my mind

Is her sweet and gentle

Voice, like the most beuatiful

Birdsong in the world.

"My love, listen, I´ve

rid myslef of everything

but my money, a few clothes

and heirlooms. There´s a

priest waiting, if only

you will of course to-nite

at the rectory for us. I am

a Leosk and you my love are a

Hallis. Our familes if they knew

would never let us see each other

again. It is the only way."

Her face for a moment

Confused but then lite

Up with joy.

"Oh my love. How did

you know I did the same

this very day?"

"I did not."

"Come let us go to

your priest. I cannot wait

another moment."

Laughing I follow her

As she runs swiftly

To the priests house.



I look up at my wife

As I read the last line.

The rest had been

Torn away.

"They did not let me

see this life, my love."

"Are you sure it´s us then?"

"The names, the love,

the forbiddeness. It has

to be us Piper. There is no

one else it could be."

"How does it end?"

"I don´t know the last of

the parchment is gone."

I stare at the paper a hope

And fear rising in my chest.

"Was there an address on

the envelope it came in my love?"

"I don´t know. I´ll look."

I watch her walk to the table

My heart beating so fiercly

With love I feared it would

Burst.

She smiles in amusement

As she reads.

"One last gift from big

sister to show little sister

it´s forever that we hold

love ones."
