I wrote this many years ago and am in the habit of posting it once each year
The reason I like to repost it is for two reasons , one is for the benefit of my new friends and secondly for the fact that I think this is one of my best efforts in my younger Spaces days of writing. The writing has always intrigued me as it was written upon awakening one morning and took about twenty minutes to write, my mind was writing faster than my pen could keep up and after completion and rereading I found it to be a subject that I would normally not contemplate writing. The music I have set this poem to is called La Montanara by Andre Rieu . I used to have this song in my Spaces as my theme song way back then, and lost it. With the help of Ana its now recovered. To all my old friends who have read it before please flick over it and to my new friends I hope you enjoy my presentation. Cheers Aussie Ian
Before The Suns Were Born
and the Heavens Had No Place
In Distant Lands
And Faraway Times
in Fogs and Mists
of Purple Haze
Destiny Foretold
Of A Love So True
In Tender Childhood Happiness
We Laughed and Played
Amongst The Stars
Oh How I Loved
Your Long Black Hair
Cascading Down
Your Smooth Long Neck
and Billowing
From Shoulders So Sleek
Cascading As a Waterfall
Covering Your Sensual
Nubile Back
Your Deep Dark Eyes
So Emerald
Would Flutter In Glee
as In Games of Battle
We Would Play
You Stole My Heart
with Your Alluring
Smile
a Smile Born On Lips
So Ruby Red
with Promises
Of Childhood Passion
and Desires
You Teased My Heart
As Amongst the Purple
Trees and Forests
We Chased Our Hearts
and In Dark Recesses
of Young Forbidden Love
Your Lips of Ruby Red
I Would Taste
The Nectars
Of Our Love
with Burning Desires
My Childhood Sword
I Would Unsheathe
To Battle with
Your Tender Heart
My Battle Cries
Were Loud and Long
As Again And Again
I Penetrated
Your Very Heart
Your Slender Frame
and Girlish Legs
Holding My Sword
Locked In a Young Lovers
Battle Embrace
We Laughed and Loved
So Carefree
In Childhood Days
but the Hands of Fate
And Time
Promised You
to another Lover
and In My Childhood
Lovers Heart
You Were Taken
From Me
Eons Passed
In Time and Space
Heavens Changed
and Suns Were Born
and Through the Purple Haze
Their Rays Would Penetrate
On Distant Lands
And Foreign Shores
Again I Saw You As Before
As In Faraway Lands
on War Fields
We Did Battle
Until the Fatal Day
My Warrior Princess
I Took Your Heart
And Took Your Life
with Sword Drawn
I Saw Your Face
In The Final Hours
Oh How Your Hair Had Grown
That Long Black Hair
Hanging Loosely
Down Your Back
Lips So Ruby Red
Moist And Swollen
In Anticipation
Of Our Coming Battle
With Swords On High
For Days We Battled
You Stirred My Passions
With Your Thrusts Of Anger
Of Love Lost
And Denied
Until The Fatal Thrust
My Warrior Princess
Of Love
under a Purple Sky
You Fell In Exhaustion
to the Ground
I Gazed Upon Your
Slender Frame
as On the Ground
You Lay
In Childhood Memories
of Long Ago
and With a Burning Passion
of Desire
with Sword Unsheathed
I Prepared
For Final Battle
As Into Your Core
I Thrust
My Long Hard Sword
Desiring Battles Lust
Again And Again
I Thrust My Sword
in Frenzy
Of Battles Love
Deeper and Faster
My Sword Did Go
Until In A Climax
Of Wars Frenzy
Your Blood
I Did Draw
With Sword Discarded
Stained
With Lovers Blood
Our Battle over
My War I Won
Upon Your Lifeless Body
I Lay In Dreams
Of Childhoods Romance
I Saw My Childhood Warrior
As She Was Once Before
In Faraway Lands
On Foreign Shores
Lost In Time
under Purple Heavens
Two Lovers Destiny
Was Foretold
Take my hand my lover 
A Glass of Wine
