Schultz I knew a girl too well named Tasha Yar. Damn her eyes! Damn her eyes! She left me bare and tore in two my heart Damn her eyes! Her honied words left me weak and faint Damn her eyes! Her full red lips burned icy hot on mine Her sighs roared loud, and her hands with mine entwined Yet Tasha left me for a curvy lass with hair of curly jet In times grown past I'd loved the lass with hair of jet Then her lingering kisses went to Tasha Yar. Damn her eyes! Our love so fiercesome, I thought sure our souls entwined Then her cold disdain splintered in shards my brittle heart With a thousand lies she crushed the little once was mine I was left with naught but bitter tears and echoes faint Since then, my quiet moments pain, and leave me faint The fleeing stars turn pale and wan in the night of jet I hold but memories, and they in turn hold nothing mine They are the ashes of Natasha's smiles. Damn her eyes! I am not yet perished, for I feel the pulse of heart But part of me will always be with far cold Yar entwined Deanna held Natasha, once I held Deanna, we in Yar entwined Naught now warms my bed but lies forgotten; grown faint She swore of love, I swore of forever, she broke my heart She left me for my dearest friend (she of eyes of total jet) Then she left us both with naught at all. Damn her eyes! She worked too well the gold-bearing ore of passion's mine Now Yar has leapt into a starfield darker far than any mine Natasha Yar has gone over, and with Eternity is now entwined She went and died and left me stony bare. Damn her eyes! No recourse remains, my barren sighs at night grow faint She has fallen far beyond entreaties into a well of jet Where stars, hopes, mesons dimly glow, and chill the heart Photon torpedo took her kiss, and smile, and frigid heart Distant space's chilly arms are about what once was mine Ten-Forward's views are ladders into endless holes of jet Yet I sit and drink and smile and talk and ne'er grow faint With eyes unblinking I gaze with memories us once entwined. Across from me a woman smiles; we touch first with eyes Deanna is my love tonight; I drown in breasts and eyes We afterward lay close, my ear detecting beat of heart Her skin has scent of sweat and distant spices faint Yar had smelled of soap, ginger, lemons, next to mine We lay entangled, our needs and our thighs entwined I cannot see her eyes at night for they are of ebon jet Faint promises I whisper in her hair of jet. We part, for now, but further nights oft find us breathless and entwined again. Still yet mine heart recalls enduring Tasha Yar. Damn her eyes! ----------------END Notes: What is a Sestina? It is a type of poetry originating in France in the 12th century. The poem calls for six stanzas of six lines each, or in the Italinate version, seven stanzas of six lines each, followed by a three-line Envoi. The last words of the lines of the first stanza are repeated in each line in each following stanza, and all six words are part of the three line Envoi. The order is 1-2-3-4-5-6 for the first stanza, and the second stanza is 6-1-5-2-4-3 and the third stanza is 3-1-4-1-2-5 and so on. This progression allows the seventh stanza to repeat the last words in the original order. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ASCEM messages are copied to a mailing list.
