Undercover operative with true sex appeal.
Partnered with fellow Avenger John Steed
She helped battle villains perpetrating evil deeds....

Massing waves drummed offshore
Above them a partnered wind blew
Together they prepared to war
Against what I once knew
This dark and cold wet vastness 
Brought forth my waterloo...

Fear accompanies laughter,
Truth is partnered by apathy,
Sorrow dances with trust,
Love walks hand in hand with lies,
And despair follows on the wings of hope.
That's just the way life goes....

Time is such a luxury,
More valuable than wealth,
Especially when partnered with
The better side of health.

Retirees, possessing both,
May find themselves afraid
That any moment their good fortune
May begin to fade.

So we should cram what time we have
With joy from dusk ‘til dawn,
For we may learn, quite suddenly,
Our stash is overdrawn....

Massing waves drummed offshore
Above them a partnered wind blew
Together they prepared to war
Against what I once knew

The dark and cold green vastness 
Carried forward my waterloo 
Upon the rocks it did press
Against what I once knew

So when the gray shadowed the land 
It darkened my final view 
Soon the waves crossed the sand
And took all that I once knew...

Massing waves drummed offshore
Above them a partnered wind blew
Together they prepared to war
Against what I once knew

The dark and cold green vastness 
Carried forward my waterloo 
Upon the rocks it did press
Against what I once knew

Then a gray shadowed the land 
Coloring my thought of you 
And as the waves broke across the sand
They removed all I once knew...

Above them a partnered wind blew
Together they prepared to war

The dark and cold green vastness 
Carried forward my waterloo

Coloring my final thought of you 
And as the waves broke across the sand
You stood as I once knew...

A candle flame flickers in the dark

and a moth seduced by its light

falls into a trance

hypnotized as it swoops and dives

waltzing with the flame's

flittering tempo

dodging deadly kisses

life and death partnered

in a macabre dance

of desire and compulsion.

Magic breathes life in our hearts
 Destiny resides in our souls
 Our path now shimmers unshadowed by the night
 With one embrace partnered by a tender kiss, the bounds

 of time and distance crumble through fingers like drifting
 grains of sand
 Dream time is the place where I am alive
 Green eyes ripple into lipid pools where miracles draw me

 to your heart
 I am free to swim by your side until the sun sets and
 rises with you again
 Life is my dream

 I love you...

Magic breathes life in our hearts
 Destiny resides in our souls

 Our path now shimmers unshared by the night
 With one embrace partnered by a tender kiss, the bounds

 of time and distance crumble through fingers like drifting
 grains of sand

 Dream time is the place where I am alive
 Green eyes ripple into lipid pools where miracles draw me

 to your heart
 I am free to swim by your side until the sun sets and

 rides with you again
 Life is a dream

 I love you....
