Nihil Temptatum, Nihil Potitum<br /> <br /> &quot;I wish none of this had ever happened&quot; &quot;So do all who see such times, but that is not for them to decide, all you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given with you&quot;

As twilight greets the setting sun,
It dawns on me that she's the one.
Into my dreams I do descend,
And truthfulness my mind does bend.

I dance with her on piers and boards,
The moon and stars gaze down like lords.
With purest voice and brightest eyes,
She sends my soul to highest highs.

Is now I learn to love again,
Through arrogance I lost my reign.
You're with me here to lead me straight,
These are the workings of our fate.

But more than ethics I relearn,
a fire in my soul does burn.
For not since older days ago,
My heart does gambol to and fro.

For she of forte does impress,
And her appearance: most wond'rous.
With pretty smile and raven hair,
Her beauty stuns, so new and rare.

And should it fall from her so lastly,
With subtle grace. Tiger Lilly.

I wrote it for a girl, and then didn't end up giving it to her till about 4 months after I stopped liking her. Moral of the story. Carpe Diem!

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
