Ballad of the Dark Heart
The dark heart keeps his silent watch
With patience born from knowing
That all will come to he who waits
As the sands of time keep flowing
The mark is made, the wait begins
The hands so slowly creep
Around the dark hearts face of glass
From in the shadows deep
Then through the blanket of the clouds
Rend moonlight fingers bright
And the dark heart beats faster
In the blackness of the night
The chance that comes unbidden
Brings fear and dread delight
The dark heart in rapture
Thanks the unforgiving light
The now is here, will soon be gone
The time for action’s come
The dark heart moves swiftly
Cursing limbs both cold and numb
With practised stealth the dark heart flies
From cover safe and deep
The coiled spring set free at last
His just reward to reap
Sight long accustomed to the dim
Searches out the quarry near
The lunar rays shine bright and true
And bring the dark heart cheer
With icy chill upon his cheek
The dark heart strives to hear
The long awaited sounds within
That invitation clear
Objective lain before him now
Regardless of the chill
He is warmed now as with his eyes
The dark heart drinks his fill

I put a post in main forum, then though may be this a better place
Came across this today, not sure if been flagged before, but thought it might be of interest!
Yeah but no but sometimes it will say online on the profile, but in the favourites list it will say last seen online 4 hours/days/weeks or whatever ago!
Therefore, if you send a message and they do not reply you don't know if they haven't seen the message, are not online or just don't want to talk to you!!
Is it just me but I spend what seems like hours going through all the forums and chat rooms looking for friends who are supposedly online but are not.
A follow on thought would be that could it not say on the profile where someone is when it says they are online?
Finally, a thought to those who moan about lurkers and stalkers, why not try saying hello yourselves - it can be daunting jumping in to a chat in full flood, especially when the chatters know each other and there is a lot going on that has obviously got a lot of history to it and makes no sense to the new-comer!
Hi, I will be out and about in Surrey tomorrow night and would love to meet up.
