AN: No, I don't have the chapter done yet, no I'm not dead, and no, I probably won't update any faster, sorry :/ My apologies for the uber long wait, it usually doesn't take this long, working as fast as I can and all that jazz you want to hear... Truth is I have no time and unless you want me to cut sleep out of my schedule then you may not get an update until after November. Between school, band, sleep and preserving my sanity, there is no time for writing. I'm barely managing that last part too... Still, maybe if I got some reviews for all this hard work I'm doing I just might be motivated to abandon my sleep for a night... (WINK WINK, AHEM AHEM)
Anyway so I found this poem while doing English homework 4 weeks ago (yes, it DID take that long to get it up) and I think it's loverly and fits like a peach so enjoy this slightly depressing poem about love and ripples and two people not looking at each other :)
An Echo From Willow-Wood
Two gazed into a pool, he gazed and she,
Not hand in hand, yet heart in heart, I think,
Pale and reluctant on the water's brink,
As on the brink of parting which must be,
Each eyed the other's aspect, she and he,
Each felt one hungering heart leap up and sink,
Each tasted bitterness which both must drink,
There on the brink of life's dividing sea.
Lilies upon the surface, deep below
Two wistful faces craving each for each,
Resolute and reluctant without speech: -
A sudden ripple made the faces flow,
One moment joined, to vanish out of reach:
So those hearts joined, and ah were parted so.
AN: So it's a sort of prologuey thingy to start off the story, before the prologue so if you just didn't read it because you're like "Hey, it's just a poem, unimportant right?" NO! Tis muy importante para el... story... o... :) I'm only in Spanish 2 people... Anywho, read it if you skipped it and read closer if you didn't cus this is semi-quasi-spoilerish. And it's good... that too :)
