Now, don't get me wrong...I really dislike Callista because of what she did to Luke. But...after I wrote this poem it just seemed to me that it fit quite nicely with how Luke was feeling the last time Callista left him in 'Planet of Twilight'. Let me know what you think.

All I Wanted Was the World

If I could have the world
I’d ask for the moon
It is forever there
A constant presence
Never failing

If I could have the moon
I’d ask for the sea
Deep and resourceful
Relaxed for all
Ever flowing

If I could have the sea
I’d ask for a flower
Life in a tiny bundle
Intricate and useful
Fragile beauty

Yet I have no flower
No answered questions
No ease for pain
No kept time

And I have no sea
Unquenched is my thirst
My arms empty
My heart drained

And I have no moon
The distance is too great for me
My fingertips brush sky
And have nothing in return

All I wanted was the world—
All I have is nothing.

When I like Callista, hell will have frozen over. Completely.

But a good poem. I agree that it fits.

Thank you so much! You've just reminded me why I hate Callista. My poor farmboy...

And I was starting to get soft towards her, too. Never again! *glares at Teh Screeching Harpy*

That was a beautiful poem. grin I never did like Callista. (That's putting it mildly, tongue ) But I liked the descriptions and it put Luke's feelings together nicely.

I loved this line: I’d ask for a flower
Life in a tiny bundle
Intricate and useful
Fragile beauty



Perfect!

Thank you very much. :} All of you. I wrote that for...something else, but it just seemed to fit so nicely with how Luke was feeling after ::spits:: Callista left him.

And I really, really, really, really dislike her as well. I liked her in Children of the Jedi, but after that she highly got on my nerves and I've always longed for Mara to meet her to tell her off... hey, I got an idea for a fic...lol

That was just beautiful. You can certainly feel the author's pain, whether it was Luke or yourself.

{{huggies for you, if that was the case}}

I never liked Callista for Luke, but I didn't really hate her...until she left my Farmboy in tears! angry

Wonderfully done!

I liked this a lot. I also like Callista, but this poem fits for how I would (and a lot of other girls) would feel.

Callista- Are you delurking? :} Glad you liked it--one of my few "Callista-friendly" fics. I liked her a lot at first, but I hated how they had her run out on Luke after all he did for her. ::shakes head sadly::
