TEASER: IDoL Chapter 18

Hello everyone!

Thank you for understanding my need for a few days off. I think I can post this chapter before Jan 2nd after all. It will happen sometime this week. But before you read the teaser, I need to warn you. What you are about to see won't be easy. However, I know you all own a pair of big girl panties, and in a few cases, big boy jockeys...*shakes head at self* I just had to slip that in there...sorry. Please trust me. Read the teaser, then watch the video. See you soon.

~*~

I heard when the front door burst open and I backed myself against the wall between the toilet and the bath.

A moment later Alice was in the corridor looking at me, and I'd be lying if I said I was happy to see her that time, given the look of pure, unadulterated fright on her face.

I dared not ask. I wasn't ready yet. I wasn't ready for this to be over. I wasn't ready to lose. I'd never be ready, and oh fuck, it came too soon.

“Bella, it's Edward,” she said with a grimace, shifting her steely gaze between mine. Her perfectly porcelain forehead was creased with lines of worry, and the shaky aura she brought with her directly contradicted everything she had ever embodied.

I jumped forward with my heart in my throat, only realising that I was still holding the glass when I heard it shatter on the tiles by my feet. My reaction alone told her that I was in too much shock to respond verbally. She would have to help me understand.

 

“Something happened,” she whispered, grabbing my hands. “Bella...” And the panicked look in her eyes brought instant tears to mine. “It's bad...”

~*~

Now for the video.This is important to the plot. Trust me.

WARNING: Please don't watch if you're faint of heart.

Teaser - Chapter 17

Good evening/night/morning to you all, wherever you are,

 

as you may or may not know, I had a collection of completed chapters on this story, but now I do not. LOL. I'm afraid my tweaking disorder got the better of me and when I was supposed to be writing new chapters, I was actually RE-writing and tweaking old ones. Plus I was entering one shot Contests, yadda yadda yadda....chapter 17 is not yet completed, but I hope to have it done by Wednesday. I need us all to collectively cross our fingers for this one.

 

Pass your sweet energies on to me. I need all the help I can get. Here's the teaser for this week. Happy reading.

 

~*~

I locked myself in her bedroom, confined myself within the four walls that trapped her scent the strongest and tortured myself. The two strands of hair she left on her pillow were wrapped so tightly around my index it stopped my blood, and made the tip of my finger red and cold.

The ring I bought her was stuffed as far as it could go on my baby finger and her phone was tucked into my shirt pocket.

 

It was day two, and there was still no sign of Bella. The hours passed grievously slow, and life itself seemed to stall, as if in mid sentence. I sat on the floor, rubbing my thumb back and forth on the strands of her hair around my finger and stared at the way I tore her room apart, trying to find the journal.

Seventeen hours, forty minutes and twelve seconds of constant, feverish hunting....and I finally found it.

 

~*~

 

See you on Wednesday!

TEASER: Chapter 16

Hi guys,

 

here is your teaser for Wednesday's chapter. It's Alice POV. Enjoy!

 

~*~

Alice POV

 

“Jasper,” I whispered, which was perhaps a hasty mistake of mine. Jasper roared into action and pounced forward until his chest was pressed to Carmen's back.
“Release her!” He threatened.


The twins stepped into each other's bodies and expanded into a singular, stronger being - a good five feet taller than Emmett. But Emmett wasn't phased. He was always ready for a good smack down. He growled into the snarly face of the twin and cracked his knuckles, begging for a reason to break it against his jaw.


“Stop,” I whispered, wobbling forward weakly.


But Carmen wouldn't stop. And just as the twin turned for Jasper and snatched his shoulders, Jasper retaliated and grabbed Carmen by the throat. Her shrill scream, as a cold path of stone crept out from between Jasper's fingers, made the Twin jump backward in aversion and fall out of each other's bodies. They split in two, and with eyes as wide as the moon, darted around Emmett and flew off.


Almost immediately, I felt my limbs roar to life again, just as Carmen's body cast itself and trapped her scream inside.

~*~

That's it for tonight. This chapter is Gargoyle POV and will give you a peek into the battle

Thanks for reading!

IDoL TEASER - Chapter 15 - Holmes away from Home

Good night everybody,

Here is your Sunday night teaser. I'm afraid to say that my updates have caught up with me and I no longer have any in the bank. This is now being written in real time, and so I hope I can honour my Wednesday committment to you every week. Chapter 15 is complete and with my beta. I have some adjustments to make to it again, however. But you will have your chapter by Wednesday this week.

Thanks again for all your kind words. Happy reading.

~*~

The onslaught of questions and pieces of the Bella puzzle started reaching inwardly for my attention. Then something in a black hood flashed before my eyes and I recoiled into the couch instinctively.

“Uh....Edward?” Angela muttered.

My heart was racing, and for no reason at all I was perspiring. I looked up at Angela and tried to blink out of the stupor, but that proved very hard since the waking of the abyss at the back of my mind. That hole hadn't cried out to me in a while, but something about Angela's story unsettled it.

I needed a change of scenery. I needed to go where I could take a deep breath and comb through my thoughts. I got to my feet and studied Angela's perplexed expression as my next thought developed.

“Where can I find this cemetery?” I asked.

~*~

That's it. See you on Wednesday :o)



TEASER! Chapter 14 - IDoL

Hello, hello, hello!

Teaser Sunday is here! Here's your excerpt from Chapter 14 - LOST. Happy reading.

~*~

I threw myself into the street with no faster way to cross it. Tires screeched. Horns blared, and an unsuspecting hand grabbed at my elbow.

“Are you crazy?!” The stranger shrieked, pulling me back onto the pavement.
 

“I have to get home!” I screamed into his face.

 

Throwing my hands out in front of me, I stepped into the street again and forced the cars to stop. By some miracle I made it to the other side without being flattened, and ran. I ran so fast. My sneakers pounded as well as my heart. But no matter how hard I pushed, or how I tried to cut through the wind, I couldn't go fast enough.

 

Out of breath and dying for air, I stopped against a bench and bent over gaspingly. The sun was already setting. They had made me wait too long at the police station and now the sun was setting. I was on my own, without my car or cell phone, and still a good distance away from home.

 

I swallowed a mouthful of cold air and looked at the setting sun, dreading what was waiting for me at one second past the last ray of orange.

 

I'm never gonna make it, I thought fretfully. Please, let me make it...

 

~*~

 

See you guys on Wednesday :o)

 

TEASER - Chapter 13

Hi everyone. My apologies for not posting last night. Rough weekend, but I didn't forget you. Here is your teaser, and I hope you enjoy it.

Look out for the chapter on Wednesday :o) It promises to be light and *clears throat*....fulfilling.

~**~

I took the cigar with a deep breath and put the short, burnt down length between my lips. I sucked on it again, but there was nothing in my mouth to show when I opened up for him to see.

“There's no smoke, Isabella.”

When I laughed it all came tumbling from my lips and nostrils. “You say my name so authoritatively. Do you want to spank me, Edward?”

His raised eyebrows and made me double over in laughter. “Do you know what you could do?” I asked.

 

“No. Tell me.”

 

“You can blow the smoke into my mouth. That way I don't have to draw it in on my own...since I'm doing it wrong and all.”

 

Without objection, he took the remnants of the cigar from between my fingers and drew the last of its strength into his mouth. His long eyelashes touched his cheeks as he squinted down on the glowing tip, then he crushed it on the ground and turned to me with a heart stopping smirk on his lips.

I leaned over heavily, having lost most if not all of my motor skills by then, and opened my mouth quite gracelessly; in a way not even my dentist could get me to do.

Still, he managed to make it sexy. He held me by the back of my head and bent his face over mine. Then with our eyes connected, he blew a long line of white smoke into my mouth.

 

~**~

 

Is that squeeing I hear?? LOL. See you lovely guys and gals on Wednesday.



TEASER ALERT! IDoL chapter 12

Good night! This would have been posted a lot sooner, but my internet was down and I grumbled for the better part of the last 2 hours or so. Anyways, here is your Sunday night teaser :o)

Enjoy! And thank you again, for your wonderful response to last chapter.

~*~

"One look at him and the axis in the room shifted. The halos wanted me to leave town. They wanted me to consent to leaving a very vulnerable Edward behind, on his own. I realised right there on spot that I had absolutely no guarantee about anything any more, not that I ever did. There was no guarantee that Edward and I would survive this fight, no guarantee that the mucks wouldn't come bursting through the door at any second, and no guarantee that I'd wake up in the morning and find Edward's arm around me again. Time was never more precious. Edward....was never more precious. And in a moment of pensive consideration, as I stared back at him, I made a promise to myself to take advantage of what I still had control of. I wanted to make the best of what I still had left. Because with the way things were going, who knew how much time I had left with Edward before it all went to shit?

“I can show you,” I said.

He creased his brow in confusion and asked, “show me what?”

“I can show you what the guys on the track meant.”

 

“Okay,” he answered with a shrug. “How do I do it? How do I come in my pants?”"

 

~*~

 

That's it!

 

See you on Wednesday!

 

 

TEASER TIME - Chapter 11- IDoL

Hi guys, and Happy Halloween.

Welcome to Teaser Sunday! Btw, your response to the last chapter was amazing. I laughed my tush off, over and over, at all your wonderful predictions. You guys are the best. So I made tonight's teaser GOOD. I'm practically giving you the answer tonight because I'm so stoked by how well you guys are adjusting to this mess I've created.

Some of the predictions were: He is masturbating. He shaved his head. He found the journal. There's another girl in the room. The Gargoyles are in the room. The room is trashed.

But first. GOOD NEWS! I mentioned a while back that I entered the Enchantments Contest. Well, guess what??? I won judge's pick FIRST PLACE! Whoot! It's my first win ever!

The name of the story is Into The Deep. You can see it here.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6442244/1/

And now for tonight's teaser. Enjoy!

~*~

 “This?” I asked Blade for the final time. He barked in approval and wagged his tail. “Okay.”


Sitting on the bed, I undid the jacket. It looked like Bella’s size but there were holes in it, ten to be exact, five on either side of the open zipper at the front. I pushed my fingers through the holes and found that they fit exactly.


Climbing onto the bed next to me, Blade hunkered down and watched me.

 “Looks like I've found the winner,” I said, with a shrug. “Is it something of yours?” I asked, undoing the layers of plastic wrapping. He was almost in my lap with restlessness.



I stripped the package bare and was left with the leather bound frame of what that looked like a journal, in my hands. I was suddenly very interested. It didn't look like anything a dog would play with. It was classy, and very much like something I would choose for myself.


I opened the cover next, and read the inscription on the inside.



“To my Isabella, delicaie. Te valde amo ac semper amabo. I love you very much and always will, forever. From your.....Edward?”


I frowned on the last word, then, the door opened and she walked in. 

~*~

 

So there you have it! A few of you guessed right, though I absolutely loved the prediction where he shaves his head. LOL

 

See you all on Wednesday. Much love,

 

TEASER: Chapter 10

Hi everyone,

welcome to Teaser Sunday! Tonight's teaser is a video. The track you're about to see is the actual track in Seattle, Speedway, where Bella will take Edward in the next chapter. In some shots you can actually see the name Speedway on the sideboards. The scene at the track in chapter 10 will look something like this.

I challenge you to say Edward is wrong for wanting it after seeing this. Knowing his attraction to speed, how could he not? I think it's sexy, being a speed junkie myself. I love going to the races.

Enjoy the teaser, and see you on Wednesday!

P.S. Please allow the video to load properly first.

TEASER : Chapter 9 : In Darkness or Light

Hi again :) All my thanks to you guys for being wonderful readers. Set in Stone made 1000 reviews, and I'm thrilled to bits. Thanks to all of you for taking me this far. Here is tonight's teaser. I hope you like. And again, this story hasn't quite begun yet, so don't worry if things seem a little hopeless right now. We're only to chapter 9. Enjoy the ride ;o)

 

~*~

 

He dropped his head and laughed softly, and the sound gave me goosebumps.

“Still,” he went on to say. “I have no ulterior motive. I'm trying to help you.”

“I know,” I said, with a laboured sigh. “I know.”

“Then?”

 

In genuine ignorance, I frowned down at his bandaged palm which he held out for me, and raised an eyebrow.

 

“What.....like now?”

 

“It's still dark out,” he answered with upturned eyes. “Besides, it may be good practice for us, just to see how we fare.”

 

Damn you and your old century charm, I thought. Damn you and your aristocratic, polished, lovely, distracting, British accent. Damn your new eyes that twinkle even in the dark. And damn your good ideas that are so, so, so, so, soooo unfairly good.

 

“Damn you, Edward Cullen,” I surrendered, and put my hand in his.

With a small nod he stood up and took me with him, to something that very literally had the potential to make or break any chance I had of rekindling our romance again...

~*~

Love to all.

See you on Wednesday!

TEASER:IDoL Chapter 8

Goodnight/Good Morning/Good Evening to everyone wherever you are,

 

Welcome to Teaser Sunday, or Monday in some cases....I had lots to say tonight, but then my three hour nap earlier on sort of wiped out my brain, so it's all mush. Thanks for all the incredible reviews you've been leaving. This sequel looks more and more promising every week. I hope you liked your little sneak peek teasers in your PM boxes. Here is the official baby.

 

Now, about following this blog. A few people asked about that feature and truthfully, I dont know how to ummmm, fix that. lol. If you want to follow it, let me know, and I'll try to work it out with the designer. Check out the News/reviews section as well to see the review pick of this week. Enjoy!

 

~*~

 

She just made a ridiculous “O” shape with her mouth and winked at me. “I'm loving the accent! So cute!”

Then she slipped her hand into his bandaged one and started pulling him to the back.

“Where's Mike?” I called after her.

“Cussing off the chef! Apparently he screwed up an order,” she called back. “You okay out here?”

“I can do this in my sleep,” I said, tucking my hair behind my ears. “Oh and Jess? Be careful...” Then I nodded toward Edward teasingly. “He breaks stuff.”

He smiled over his shoulder at me as Jessica pulled him away. Right there, we had a sexy moment, and the goosebumps attacked.

I couldn't glow in the moment though, because the moment I turned toward the bar, I met a pair of eyes that made my heart quit.

“Jacob?!”

 

~*~

 

Oh no! What's HE doing there??

 

See you on Wednesday :o)

 

Love, E

TEASER: Chapter 7

Welcome to teaser Sunday yall! I will get to my reviews later tonight and send you a second teaser in your inboxes. Thank you for your reviews. They are really fiesty and I know that most of you are unhappy with ExB's relationship right now. That's understandable. But there wouldn't be a story if things just worked out magically, right? Enjoy the build up. It's coming. There is still so much that has to happen with these two.

 

I'll listen to a friend's advice and take your passionate reviews to mean that you are invested in these characters?? Please don't burst my bubble :o) Oh and, Forgetfulward has asked that you stop punching him now...thnx much. lol. Enjoy:

 

~*~

 

“Thank you. I appreciate that. Have a good day. I'll be back early.” I turned away, then remembered something. “Oh by the way, do you know how to work one of those?”

I pointed to the remote control on the coffee table.

“No,” he said, picking it up. “What is it?”

“It's a remote control. It operates the TV. Point it like this,” I said, walking over to take it from his hand. “And press this red button here. See what happens? Voila. TV.”

His eyes flared in surprise when the picture and sound came on simultaneously, again, like a child with a new discovery. And I'd be lying if I didn't admit to melting a little when I saw his reaction. His innocence, above all else, was his most endearing quality.

“To change the channel you just play with these two arrows here, and the volume, these two over here.”

Technology was always an easy distraction. He forgot about me standing there when he started playing with the channels and I couldn't resist the small smile that tugged at my lips.

 

Cute.

See you on Wednesday for chapter 7!

Thanks for reading

TEASER: Chaper 6

Welcome to teaser Sunday everyone. Not much to say tonight except, Happy Reading.

~*~

I couldn't remember feeling any worse than I did that night. And needing her forgiveness like I did, was frightening. I knew that in spite of everything there wasn't much I wouldn't do to get her to smile at me again. Even if it was impossible, I had to try.

 

Yet another drive in silence, I stared out the passenger side of the automobile. Her silence didn't bother me before then. We had bickered and we had screamed at each other, but the aftermath wasn't something I'd ever dwelt on. This time was different. For the first time her silence bothered me, especially because it was my glaring fault.

 

She parked the car hurriedly in the street in front of her apartment and rushed inside before me. And at a much slower pace I followed, coming face to face with her friends at the front door.

 

“Hi Edward,” Angela said, sullenly. “Should I even ask?”

 

With a sigh, I stepped inside, closed the door, and squatted next to a very excited Blade. I touched his head and like always, it calmed him.

 

“I think she needs you,” I whispered in his floppy ear. “I've been a bad boy, and you're just about the only one that can make her feel better right now.”

 

He licked my face and yelped intelligently.

 

“Go,” I said, patting his side softly. “Go to Bella, and if you can, please tell her that I am sorry.” Then he turned and skipped away toward her bedroom.

 

~*~

 

See you on Wednesday! xoxo

 

 



TEASER for Chapter 5 !

Hi everyone,

 

Welcome to teaser Sunday! The reviews are starting to get pretty serious..LOL. We're only up to chapter 4 guys. Don't worry so much! The story is going somewhere. It's still very early in the game.

 

After reading the teaser, please visit the "News and Reviews" page to see the news and reviews of the week. I promise to be better at updating there on a weekly basis.

 

Here you go. Happy reading, and see you on Wednesday.

 

~*~

 

He was quiet and agitated again, trying to prepare himself for what he was about to see. Just that morning he was gentle and attentive, sweet almost as he told me about his dream. But those moments were now long gone as I glanced at his harsh profile nostalgically.

His dream was yet another thing I had to shove on the back burner until I had the privacy to fall apart, because at the moment, there was a more pressing problem at hand.

This house of his.

I tapped my fingers on the wheel as I drove, scanning the streets with nervous eyes as I took us closer to what was potentially another fight.

Words failed me when we came to the address on the outskirts of the city and there was actually a house standing there. I stared at it for the longest while, tempted to double check the address again just to be sure, but he already had it tucked away in his wallet.

We stayed parked in the car for a solid minute, just staring at the house. I didn't know what the hell to do. There was still no guarantee that it belonged to him. What if there were people in there?

“Are you okay?” Edward asked, quietly.

I turned to him with my best impression of calm and control.

“I'm fine.”

“You seem almost....alarmed,” he said, cocking his head to the side.

“Really? By what?” I replied, shifting my eyes between his.

That calculating look in his eyes was trying to catch me off guard, and it would always be a point of contention between us, regardless of how right he was.

“I don't know, Bella. You have to tell me."

“I'm just overwhelmed, is all. I haven't been to your house since before your accident. It's just...sad, for me. I guess.”

~*~

Thanks for reading.

See you on Wednesday.

Psyche.



Chapter 3 TEASER

Hey everyone. Welcome to teaser Sunday :) Soon I'll start posting pictures to go along with your teasers, once I get my head out of my @$$.

 

This is your official teaser. The additional teaser will be dropped in your PM boxes as part of my review reply to the last chapter. You can look forward to that tomorrow *wink*

 

Enjoy.

 

~*~

 

Once we were outside I took a deep breath and made a bee line to my car. The sudden rush of cold air revived me and the brisk walk redirected my focus.

“I don't think you should drive if you feel ill,” Edward said, following me around the car to the driver's side. “You don't look very good.”

“Hahahahahaha. Don't even try it,” I quirked, getting into the car. “I'd rather get home sick than dead, but thank you for offering. I just need five minutes and I'll be okay.”

 

“Are you always this difficult?” He asked with a small smile, putting himself  between me and the door so that I couldn't close it.

 

“Yes I am, actually. And you think it's sexy.”

 

“Oh really....” He slurred with raised eyebrows and his polished British twang. He twitched at the word “sexy” and I had to assume that it was another taboo word from his time. I was learning how to read him.

 

“I can't imagine thinking it's....sexy,” he answered, looking back at me. “But apparently there's nothing a concussion can't correct. I seem to be magically cured of that flaw in judgement.”

 

He was trying to be a smart ass. I wanted to bite that smirk off his lips.

 

“It wasn't magic. It was amnesia. You still think it's sexy, you just can't admit it yet. But don't worry, you will.”

 

~*~

 

See you on Wednesday!

 

Love to all,

TEASER for chpater 2

Hi everyone. Here is your Sunday night teaser. The week up ahead will be crazy for me! I start a new job tomorrow, so it's a good darned thing I got some chapters done beforehand. There aren't enough hours in the day I tell you. This teaser almost didn't happen tonight, but because I lurve you lovely peeps, I couldn't disappoint. Enjoy :o)

EPOV

“She put it my pocket,” I growled.

With heavy hands I pushed the door open and stalked through the restaurant looking for her, seething in impatience. I pushed my way to the front of the bar, thinking little of the protests being hauled at me and demanded the attention of the short girl behind the counter.

“Wow,” she gasped, staring at me disbelievingly. “It really is you. I remember you now.”

“I'm looking for Bella.” I got straight to the point.

“Edward?”

I turned toward the sound of Bella's voice behind me and shoved against the swaying mob again....much to their delight. She looked confused, and because I didn't want to embarrass her by making our argument public, I took her by the elbow toward the restrooms.

“Edward, what the hell has gotten into you?!” She cried out, trying to pull her arm away from me.

I turned on her abruptly once I had her away from curious eyes, disgusted by my own temper, and dropped my shaking hand.

“Please tell me you didn't put that thing in my pocket, knowing how much I hate it, Bella....please.”

Admission filled her eyes instantly and sent a sickening stab to the pit of my stomach.

~*~

See you on Wednesday!

Chapter One - Teaser

Hi everyone,

 

Sorry this didnt come out last night. I came home really late with a sinus attack....anyway. Here is your teaser for this week's chapter. Happy reading :o)

 

~**~

One of our awkward silences fell over us then, making me uncomfortable and fidgety. He rocked back on his heels, about to turn and leave the room, when he noticed the chain link hanging down through my fingers.

“What's in your hand?” He asked.

I looked down dumbly for a few seconds, a part of me wanting to forget the whole thing, lie and hide it behind my back. But this was important.

“It's a gift,” I said, frowning at my closed fist.

“For who?”

“For you.”

Another attack of nerves crowded me when I looked up at him again. I knew he was trying hard to fall into the mould of being my fiancé, by accepting what he thought he had to. But it was often obvious by just the look on his face that he was having trouble with it. It was almost as if he was trying to love me, instructing his heart to feel something on command....and failing at it.

"But you just said...” he started.

“I know,” I cut in, raising my hand to stop him. “It's not a big deal. This is actually not even new, so don't worry about it.”

 

“Then what is it?”

I opened my hand then and showed him the link, adorned with the stone of Selenite....

A new Stoneward is born

New Teaser : From the Prologue of In Darkness or Light

Hi everyone,

It's teaser time! Thanks for being so responsive to the poem last Sunday. Here is an excerpt from the Prologue. Release date is this Wednesday. See you then. Happy reading.

Song for this chapter - The Kill by 30 seconds to Mars. (please right click on link to play song in a new tab)

EPOV - Taken from his last night as a Gargoyle

From the corner of my eye I saw Rosalie move, and I heard Aro begin to recite her last rites.

I knew this was it.

I turned unsettled eyes over to her and watched as she fell to her knees before him. Something lurched in my chest when I saw his hand come down on her head, and in a rush of compassion I went to her side. I don't know what came over me in that last moment, but suddenly my heart went out to Rosalie. I felt her desperation. I knew what it felt like to need death more than you wanted it. I knew the poisonous effects of self hatred and bitterness, but I also knew that love could have healed it.

I was unable to give her the kind of love she wanted from me. And even though she stole it from Emmett, I was sure that had she given it time, she would have found that she didn't need to steal it after all.
She shifted her deep grey gaze to me then, and for the first time in two centuries I saw something soft in Rosalie. Whatever it was, it was alien, but it moved me to pity. A single tear rolled down her cheek and I caught it as it fell from her chin.

“Thank you,” she whispered.

Aro's grasp tightened around her head, and my heart twisted in anxiety.

“You are the only one I would have with me at the end,” she said, the beginnings of panic claiming her face.

“Thank you,” I said, touching her shoulder. “For giving me something I don't deserve from you. Despite my initial reaction I am moved, and I accept your offer. Thank you, Rose.”

“Do something for me?” She asked.

A sincere smile on Rosalie's lips was shocking, but that entire night had been a sequence of surprises.

“Anything,” I answered, unsuspectingly.

“Kiss me...” she whispered. “It's the last time I will ask. Just so I know what it feels like before I die....”

What curse was put upon you, O creature of the night

to bless you with such beauty, then cage your spirit tight?

Which hand would carve such perfect lines, which crack under the sun,

Or planes as smooth as marble, which wait to come undone.

No strength that seems invincible, should welt so easily,

Nor power like the raging sea, which poured right out from thee.

Monstronsity of stone, made and perched to stand alone,

With angel wings and snarly face, and secrets left untold.

The wisdom in your eyes that died the more they stood to light,

could stand the test of time, despite the stripping of your might.

The darkness was your haven, your tears they turned to dust,

And nothing so compelling ever earned the name of lust.

What measure of unkindness makes your spirit now unknown?

Gives life, but strips your memories, no longer Set in Stone.

The whisper of your spirit, It still lingers in the night,

My love will hold you anywhere, In Darkness or in Light.
