Verse corresponds to pain:
Then do both rise – in vain.
Tears are what unearth rhyme –
But not every time…

Though time wants to forget,
I shall remember yet:
The fragrance of your hair,
As your head rested there
Quiet on a shoulder,
Time stopped growing older.

But a smile is enough
To aid right now and know
That though hope is just stuff,
With all its ebb and flow,
I’ve no cause now to weep,
For this memory will keep.

While your path leads you far,
From an evening star,
Know that when you stride in oceans of sleep,
Real may not the real seem,
And when you achieve a smile in that deep,
Elessar, it’s a good dream.

 

In times past, as I searched, quite hard, for love,
Friendship appeared; but was cast far aside.
The mind reasoned, as the beating heart strove
And affection came duly to abide.
Pain, character and such opposition
Overcame lust and love and the heart quailed.
By then, friendship had no strong position;
But in time, it by tried reason prevailed.

However as shitty luck would have its say,
Love crept, in time, into the minds of friends,
And, eventually, ground its own way,
Therein it festered and changed night to day.
So now who can tell what on what depends,
And what can be prevailed on what to stay.
