[title] => The Journals of Al-Hambra Act I
[time] => 2004-04-02 16:56:22
[hometext] => A fictional tale I have been envisioning for a while. A novella of sorts painted in poetic license. A first in the series. Next episode same bat time same bat channel.
[bodytext] => In the dusts of times the sands of memories lies the tale of tales an epic of destiny long long ago in an age before history lived the fairies and their ilk on earth with mortal men sages they were keepers of lore masters of magic and shapers of dreams with powers beyond our grasping mentations silhouttes of gods but never divine they lived in harmony in the times before until humankind discovered the merits of science with tools and knowledge we soon unearthed a power much greater then even the fairies themselves for in our very hands God has placed the mastery as caretakers of this earth we can shape its destiny sages they were and lore they kept but bound they are by celestial quips we on the other hand are unrestricted hence the world to our will can we ultimately bend as more and more of science we learned more tools discovered and knowledge unearthed nature and fairies holds no more expense but are resources to be consumed post hence as nature withers under our ravaging hand so is the power of fairies withered in recompense bringing up the moment magic's time to die so ends an age of earth the last days of Aquarius sadly in repose pondering their fates the fairy court decided upon a plan of escape to a mirror world will they descend into a place beyond space beyond time a pocket dimension created on the ends a faraway plane as yet untouched by science sealed of from the earth by a dazzling facade a temporal gateway bending space and time so fled the fairies to the lands beyond leaving behind allies their human clients but not forgotten nor left behind but left with the means and the plot to a plan twelve tribes they were the followers of the fairies left behind to scheme for the return of their liege with them were twelve keys twelve majestic artifacts objects of great power and the keys to the wall of lights with each lies a power given to individual tribes together and in concert they could open the gates of light it is said that beyond this gate lies the armories of Ra-Magda where the ancient fairies keep their terrible weapons of power beyond the armories lies the halls of Bal-Seeka where the fairies left a taste of their glory and their lore beyond the halls lies another set of doors watched upon by Tem-Por the dreaded fairy-lord of war herein lies a riddle the fabled words of power to open the way hither to the fairies' last refuge so the fairies fled away their followers slaved their plans until the coming of the day when Aquarius walks again but a mortal man named Al-Hambra got wind of all their story sketching upon paper he wrote a journal of their plans the stories he told of the tribes in hiding the details he divulged of the artifacts in question but word got out of him and the telling of his deeds pursued he became by assassins in the night fearing of the worst he hid his work and ran leaving clues and hints in the annals of literature in the kingdom of Sudan a knife did enter his back piercing skin and going through his heart so ends his tale the story of Al-Hambra but the story of his work the Journals of Al-Hambra lies unfound but not lost awaiting a discoverer.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
