I always wondered how Enya was given this nickname, now I know. It's in part to a poem called "Silver Lady" by D.A. Houdek. Here is the poem in its entirety:

 

One face she kept ever hidden from the lustful, yearning eyes that sought her secrets. With the other she taunted their deepest desires, toying with their imaginations. She teased their fantasies, veiling herself in chaste darkness one moment, flaunting her silver, unobtainable radiance the next.

 

Madness seized some who looked full upon her bared face. The tormented howls that rose toward her spoke of the anguished craving she provoked. Lost, they were, these cries, lost in the dark gulf that surrounded her.

 

She waited. Someday would come the lover’s touch of these frantically scrambling souls. Someday…

 

And then they came – oh! Brave, foolish questers who dare challenge the courage-draining emptiness to gaze upon her hidden face. Breached was the lure she’d withheld from their eyes.

 

What now? As they left her alone once more. Would they not return to her waiting embrace?

 

A bare flicker of time and they who had probed her from afar returned to caress her and make her theirs. Sweet, their lover’s whisper, “We came in peace for all mankind.”

 

The End

 

The first person to refer to Enya as such was a guy named Tim. He was young and quite in love with her.

Awww. :heehee: I'm not a big fan of poetry, but I can see the Enya likenesses there!

I write poetry. :P I can also see the likenesses..especially the first paragraph.

Oh do you? :o We're doing it in English Lit atm. John Clareee. Dunno if you know him?

No, I don't know him.

Ahhh. He's not very interesting tbh. Well I guess he's alright, quite an interesting person. :lol: Many poets were a bit f***ed up weren't they? :o

Hmm..it depends on what you mean by that.

The two we've studied have been pretty similar. Both lusting after a woman they can't get basically, and basing just about every piece of poetry on them. :( This led to their mental deterioration somewhat.

Okay, I think that means "the troubled, love obsessed poet."

Yes I suppose it does. :lol: Are you quite a fan of poetry?

I like writing it more than reading it.

Ahhh I see. I know a couple of people who like writing it actually. They say it's very relaxing. ^_^ There are a number of members on here who like writing lyrics too.

I wrote one song.

Ooh did you? Did you do a tune for it and everything too?

Only in my mind, I can't play any instruments.

Neither can I. Well I can sort of play the clarinet. :lol: But I gave up six years ago. I do like a good sing and dance though. :cheer:

I want to play the piano.

I'd like to be able to play Watermark and ADWR on the piano. :heart:

I want to play Ebudae. :rofl:

Haha well you would. :drink: Obsessive. :kink: :heehee:
