Can you hear me squealing with joy? THIS IS SO GOOD! I really like the way that you bring such romance to their relationship because in the story sometimes all we relaly know is how Rana feels and not enough about how Salah Ad-Din feels. And I think that it is nice to have a new really really good writer on this site who likes to write about the Muslim part of the film. I am SICK OF BALIEN! He is a douchebag.

You really caught the intensity of the tale, my dear Piscean Rubble. I've sent off a note to Ruffian, telling her to get her butt over here and review this bit of genius. The girl should be sounding off any moment now. ;)
Your ability to describe a relationship as intricate as Rana and Saladin's with such clarity is astounding. My eyes are actually misting over. You have writing abilities that most people can only dream of. It is my hope that you write more and post it here for everyone's mutual gratification. :)

WOW! WOW! WOW! This is so rich with emotion and so POWERFULLY sensual that it makes my heart melt. It's like you crawled into Rana's head and peered out through her eyes and cried her tears and felt her love. I didn't realise that there was another insane 'Gentle' fan out there! You are AMAZING! My favorite line is "In your dark eyes / As the darkness gives way to dawn". I can almost see him lying there on his back with Rana above him and imagine the way the gathering light would touch his eyes. This is the best poem ever!
