VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Destiny

I see the light as 'tis from me fleeing
Leaving me where I fall, my mouth agape
'Tis no small Sorrow who chokes this being
No shape has it, but stronger than an ape--
Its throttling claws encircle my throat
In torn gracefullness and easy malice;
Thrown, drowning, in the blood-ensickened moat.
Need I sip of the Love-poisoned chalice
To further the track to but die,
A falling chance to escape a prophecy;
At base of a bottomless pit I lie
Knowing no option to flee Destiny.
Given single opportunity, I fail;
Rusting now, a prisoner in Her jail.
