across fields of grass
gray blade rides  
searching  
for face of pale  
longing for soft green eyes    
that will meet his
  
gallop of his steed  
sends poetry  
to place he craves
his sweet lady’s side  

he foresees  
play of white dove hands  
fluttering  
smoothing skirts  
touching breathless bosom  
a blush of cheek
then
skirt lifted
slightly
soft glow of purple
at ankle

he dreams alighting
kneeling
hooves pounding past
to beat of heart
laying his hand upon
sheathed rapier
gripping hilt
tightly
as white dove hands
slip purple
‘round his arm
sweet breath whispers

God speed
gentle sir

Or in Toerag's case sweet maiden would exclaim,
"Get your hand off my knee before it gets maimed."

Other than that, what a beautiful write, Kate.

  Lady... What cavalier champion would not immediately unsheath his rapier in hopes of winning a chance of passionate purple from a perfectly poetic princess

Most beautfiul Kate.  

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

did you know sweet words    
may cause a poetic princess to swoon?
forsooth
I feel faint!

Kate, loved the trip there...and back.

Perhaps somewhere...

...the dream still lives.
