To One in Paradise (Later the same day)
Thou wast all that to me, love,
For which my soul did pine-
A green isle in the sea, love,
A fountain and a shrine,
All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers,
And all the flowers were mine.
Ah, dream to bright to last!
Ah, starry Hope! that didst arrive
But to be overcast!
Avoice from out our future cries,
'On! on!'-but o'er the Past
(Dim gulf!) my spirit hovering lies
Mute, motionless, aghast!
For, alas! alas! with me
The light of Life is o'er!
'No mre-no more-no more-'
(Such langauge holds the solemn sea)
Shall bloom the thunder blasted tree
Or the stricken eagle soar!
And all my days are trances,
And all my nightly dreams
Are where my green eye glances,
And where thy footstep gleams-
In what ethereal dances,
By what eternal streams.
Nine years, this war was over after nine long years! He was finally going to see Her, he slid the beaten book of poems into his coat pocket, He telported himself to Vince's side, not even caring about the victory party the other warriors would have, "Allright the war's over, unlock the portals now!!"
"Don't you want to celibrate before rushing off?" Vince asked, a little mockingly.
"Don't play with me Vince! It was because of me you even won this war now unseal the portals!" Beetlejuice threatened.
"Very well, you are right however, this war would be lost if you had not fought for us, so as a token of my gratitude I am lifting your curse, from everyone except Lydia, you will be free to travel from world to world, as long as you harm no mortals, but you will always be summoned to Lydia's side if she calls for you." Vince bowed his head slightly, "I wish you luck my friend, but perhaps you wish to alter you appearance a bit, you have changed a lot since you have begun fighting."
"Whatever," Beetlejuice turned to look away, "Thanks for lifting the curse." With that he teleported to his roadhouse and ran to his mirror. Peering through the darkness of the room, he saw with dread, the dust and gloom covering the room. "She's gone... no wait what's that on the bed, I guess this is a better time than any to test Vince's gift." He took a deep breath, and placed his hands on the edge, and felt his himself fall through the glass like it was crystal water.
