Disclaimer:  I don't know why I bother, really.  I
mean, it's not like anyone can TELL who these are
about, unless I've put the names in.  <g>  Oh wait…..
that'd be why.  If I don't mention SOMEWHERE that this
is actually a bit of fanstuff (for which you'll have
to take my word), then I wouldn't be able to post to
OTL.  That explains it. <g>  Anyway, this one's about
Xavier and Lilandra, who've been getting a damn raw
deal lately, says one who knows that long distance
relationships are their own special heaven and hell.

Oh, and it's specially for Samy and Kiko, whom I love
to death and who it fits nearly as well.  :)

Faith
By Dyce

The sun shines high above thee, love,
Whilst yet my sky is bright with stars,
You wake while I am sleeping, and,
I wake, to know thee slumber wrap't.
To love is pain, the poets say,
And yet to love is greatest joy.
My greatest joy is thee to love,
And pain to do so far away.
Across a sea of stars we love,
Across our duty's barricade,
Across our fear and joy and pain,
And, in our hearts at least, are one.
Times there are when distance seems,
To strain our love to breaking point.
And others, ah, so rare they be,
When we seem but  a breath apart,
For love doth twine our souls so close,
That we are one, no matter what.
I have faith in thee, my love, and
In the fates, if such there be, to
Steer us safe to loving harbour,
And peace in one another's arms.
Time cannot dim the love we share,
Nor distance loose us of its ties,
We are destined to be one, and
Naught shall dare to come between.
I love thee, and with all my heart,
I believe these truths to be… though
The sun shines high above thee, love,
Whilst yet my sky is bright with stars,
And  though we must remain apart,
We're e'er together in my heart.

End.


(So it's soppy, sue me.  If that surprises you, you've
not been reading my work up until now. <g>)
