POSTING AS KEITA *Keita stood upon the roof in the bright sunshine, listening to the birdsong and the breeze and the sounds rushing up from far below. She sighed.* So much pain and terror in my young life...then there was that one face I saw only for an instant...the face that lit up the darkness as I sat in the dormitories. I do not even know the shadowy figure's name. But I have fallen...oh I have fallen in love with that face. *The tears began to course down her beautiful young face.* No one has ever understood me...no one ever will, I fear. But that one...perhaps. They seemed to understand. The shadowy figure wore its silky hair shorter than the lady-like prisses I have seen around the opera...that beautifully chiselled face, the soft lips... *She sighed again, crying silently.*

Why do I feel so incomplete?
*Selena had always known that she was not like other girls. Unfortunatly this had come to a head when she had come across an raven hair beauty who she couldn't get out of her mind
No good can come of this

POSTING AS KEITA *Keita whirled around with a small gasp as the voice spoke unexpectedly. She blushed, seeing who it was.* "Och, I beg your pardon..." *Keita hurriedly wiped away her tears, fighting back ever feeling in her tumultuous and treacherous heart.* "I didnae...that is to say...well, I...I'm sorry..." *She lifted her dark eyes to meet those sparkling blue orbs in Selena's calm and beautiful face, and fresh tears slid coolly down her rosy, dusky-gold cheeks as the wind tossed her dark curls into a slow-waving dance about her face--like a mermaid's hair is borne upon the moonlit tides.*

*Selena gazed tranfixed at the maiden. Her blonde flicks swaying in the wind.*
"Alas I have loved in vain. I am doomed."

POSTING AS KEITA *A sob caught in Keita's throat at Selena's words. She gazed at the other girl, frozen and motionless before the words found their way to her lips.*
"And I as well--oh aye!"
*The wind caught Keita's dark blue cloak and it swirled around her curving figure as her hair swirled around her Sphinx-like rapt gaze, making her look like some ancient priestess of the warm southern lands, of the shifting Morrocan sands, of her mother's nomadic people of generations before her own diaspora into the dark, cold lands of the north.*

*Selena rushes to the girl in a desperate attempt to have one lingering embrace.*
"Every logical part of my brain is telling me that this is wrong but I cannot avoid my soul .I love you with every fibre of my being and I weep for what can never be."
*Selena tensed waiting to be pushed away*

POSTING AS KEITA *Fresh tears coursed down Keita's face. She raised a shaking hand to brush the golden strands from the other girl's eyes.* "I cannot believe it..." *she murmured lowly as she brought up both hands to cup Selena's perfect, fae-like face between her hands. "My love...my sweet...my dear...my heart...my soul...my angel!" *Keita became unable to speak, and so she simply pressed her lips gently against the rosebud Cupid's bow lips of the beautiful girl who she loved with all her being. Still, Keita cried, knowing she d**ned herself and her beloved and the love they shared.*

Deny thy father and refuse thy sex
*Selena dragged her lips away from the perfect lips of Keita.Tears were courseing down her face staing the other girls dress.*
"Society will never let use live how we must. They may think it is against nature but it is not against my heart."
*She leaned in rocking the other girl gently both being to ships caught at storm on the calm sea of the Opera house*

POSTING AS KEITA *Keita looked sadly into Selena's face as they held each other. Helplessly, she shook her head.* "What shall we do? What shall we do, then? Deny this...this love...this existance? Marry as we are expected to? Marry...another? Become wives and mothers and live out our lives apart from one another?" *Dread filled her heart and her eyes.* "There is a poem...a sonnet I wrote..." *said Keita softly.* "I am a poet...it is the only way I can express myself, even if it pales in comparison to the true nature of myself and my life--I nonetheless struggle to find words. I wrote this poem after seeing your face for the first time..." *Keita glanced down, then lifted her face and continued.* Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no human ever loved. " *Keita sobbed afresh as she stopped reciting her sonnet she had written for her feelings for Selena.* "Shall we be so weak and poor as to deny this? No!" *Keita's defiant cry echoed over the rooftops of Paris. She stroked Selena's cheek.* "Sweet, I could not bear to be so strong as that..."

"Then you know of course love what we must do"
*Selena turned Keita chin down torwards the streets of Paris.she spoke softly in her ear*
"It would be over straight away.Do not fear dearest for I truly believe There's a place for us, Somewhere a place for us. Peace and quiet and open air Wait for us somewhere.
There's a time for us, Someday a time for us. Time together with time to spare, Time to learn, time to care."

POSTING AS KEITA *Keita nodded, swallowing her fear as she was swamped by the force and strength of her love for this woman.* "Of course we can never exist in such a place...but... Somewhere. We'll find a new way of living, We'll find a way of forgiving Somewhere . . .
There's a place for us, A time and place for us. Hold my hand and we're halfway there." *Keita held out her hand and Selena took it and kissed it lingeringly.* "Hold my hand and I'll take you there..." *Keita squeezed her hand as they both looked straight ahead, then into each other's eyes.* "Somehow, Some day, Somewhere!" *Their voices rose and entwined in perfect harmony on the last word before silence claimed the rooftop for a moment. Keita looked at Selena, then did something she had not planned on.* "I, Keita Heather Leila Zuleika McQuillen, do take thee, Selena, to be my love, as my constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence of God, the sun and the sky, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you until the end of eternity." *Keita took off her mother's sacred pendant in place of a ring she did not have and placed it on Selena's slim neck, caressing her for a moment as she began to sing again.* "You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we walk in the fields of gold..."

"I, Princess Selena of France, do take thee, Keita, to be my love, as my constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence of God, the sun and the sky, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you until the end of eternity."
*Selena walked to the edge of the roof holding Keita's hand*

POSTING AS KEITA *Keita fell silent, Selena smiled, repeated the vows, and gave her a ring off her own finger, and Keita felt the warmth of Selena's body on her own skin as she wore the heavy gold ring.* So she took her love For to gaze awhile Upon the fields of barley In his arms she fell as her hair came down Among the fields of gold *The girls held each other one last time, then stepped to the edge of the roof, and without pausing, they wrapped their arms around each other and leaned into the wind and began to fall...* Will you stay with me, will you be my love Among the fields of barley We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we lie in the fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so Upon the fields of barley Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth Among the fields of gold I never made promises lightly And there have been some that I've broken But I swear in the days still left We'll walk in the fields of gold We'll walk in the fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of barley See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in the fields of gold When we walked in the fields of gold When we walked in the fields of gold
*The wind rushed to surround them as they fell, and a sacred hush lay over the rooftop as it bore witness to this forbidden love that could only be in a place not of this world.*
