"Apathy"

Watching, Waiting
for feelings to surface.
Pondering, Wondering
where feelings have gone.
Searching, Hoping
for a loss of apathy.
It has, It will
strike without warning.

No caring, No love
a black light absorbed it all.
No hope, No feeling
just a long endless fall.
From day, From night
questioning where my love went.
I don't know, I don't care
sound familiar yet?

Empathy, Apathy
opposites, true.
Once it was empathy,
now it's apathy for you.

Here is a submission from another friend of GypsyElf and mine.

"Emerald Lady"

Watch your heart for once you see
The One i call the Emerald Lady
You're lost but found, entombed but alive.
Her's - heart and soul, your spirit will thrive.
Her pain becomes yours, Her smile a beacon.
With a brush of Her lips, the strongest will weaken.
Her bond is like silk, soft and caressing.
Yet stronger than steel, firm and posessing.
Her soul is a Gypsy. Her spirit an Elf.
Like a lodestone, you'll follow in spite of yourself.
Heaven help you should you see Her dance,
Such expression and grace, seduction and romance.
Forwarned my friend, for all that you've heard
This tale is one that's already occured.
And though She's the sweetest in all of the lands,
She's already claimed by the ones She commands.
Don't lose your heart or else you will roam,
Searching for Her likeness to claim as your own.

"Heart strings"

Twine, ribbons, threads of gold
A puppet tethered on her wires.
Master, Mistress, sister's soul
She fuels the flames and fires.
Bound, tied, willing slave
Standing proudly in her chains.
Weaving, luring, hold fast
To her hidden set of reins.
Doll, statue, marionette
That secret smile i now reveal
Retained, owned, concealed possession
Of heart strings that W/we feel.
Pulling, tugging, endless yearning
To keep this lady within O/our midst
Cherished, loved, sweet reverence
As W/we are helpless to resist.

"Owner of the a.m."

How can One control the rising of the sun?
...It's not possible, but She controls the a.m.
Can One possess the dawn?
...Never, but She possesses the a.m.
She is the One that causes break of day?
...Not exactly, but She can cause the a.m. to break.
Does She command the first blush of the morning?
...She commands the blushing of the a.m.
So, Her word stops the morning light?
...No, *wicked smile* but it will stop the a.m. from coming.

I am speaking of GypsyElf and morning sunrise.
...And i am speaking of GypsyElf and the a.m.
Aren't they one in the same?
...No, my friend,the a.m. is arabesque and marionette.
Oh, you speak of Her subs.
...As i said, She controls the a.m.
