WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME (Max/Liz)
Nominated for Best Poem in the Fall 2000 Dreamwalking Awards for Roswell Fan Fiction
Archive Date:  5/19/2000


When you look at me
Time and space ceast to exist
The world recedes, fading into mist

When you look at me
Forever becomes a mere window in time
Courting the edges of something sublime

When you look at me
Destiny fails as a foregone conclusion
Appearing more like a dissonant illusion

When you look at me
Lightness pales in intensity
Subdued by the power of love's immensity

When you look at me
Shadows dance into surrender
Dissolving into nothing to remember

When you look at me
Life begins anew
Because you love me
And I love you too.




LET ME IN (Alex/Isabel)
Archive Date:  5/19/2000


With a half smile, a dreamy look and my cheek resting upon the arm of the sofa
I stare into a dream

Colors whirl about
Becoming … a man and a woman

Notes from a song filter the air
The figures entwine

Lazily dance
Lightly touch
Slowly become one

Colors dissolve
As the dream fades
And the song ends.




MARIA’S ANSWER
Archive Date:  5/19/2000


I can’t believe you walked away
After you said you loved me that day

Perhaps you were scared
You told me more than you dared

But can’t you see
You and I were also meant to be.




SENSES (Michael/Liz)
Archive Date:  7/7/00


What is it that I see
When your arms enfold me?

A ravaged spirit, a battered soul
Simply trying to come in from the cold

What is it that I feel
When I hold something so small and real?

A gentle warmth, a kind touch
Things I haven’t known much

What is it that I hear
Past all the words of fear?

Quiet whispers saying “I love you”
And my heart leaping, yelling “I love you too!”




BOB'S LAMENT (Max's Jeep/Maria's Jetta)
Archive Date:  7/7/00


I didn't wish to leave you
But what could I do?

They needed me to get to the mine
And assured me that you would be just fine

But when I arrived at that place
All I saw was an empty space

You were not there
And it seemed like they didn't care

I wanted to search high and low
Because I missed you so

But they wouldn't let me go
Even just to give you a little tow

So I will say this now
Don't worry ... I will get to you somehow.
