THE HEART THAT AWAITS THEE

Where do thou goest
My dearest?

My barer of glad tideings,
For thee I await,

Across the moores,
At the gate,

Beyond the shores,
Through the misty fog,

My love,
Your face is but a mystery,

I await standing,
wind blowing through my hair,

Will thou come into my arms?
Sweet of sweetest of mine,

My heart hears thy heartbeats
as footsteps into thy soul,

Once captured here inside thy arms,
I will never let thee go,

If there be any wisdom here,
knowledge of love beyond thy
control.

So I wait for thee,
My existence cries out,

Thy heart is silent,
but for thee,
It is a shout.

Time is near,
thou will be here,

The tears of happiness I flow,
In years to encumber,

Between our loves slumber,
Thy heart remains here forever for thee to hold.

So long I await thee,
looking far beyond the sea,

I shall keep my love in a box,
Thy gift to thee,

Locked, not set free,
thee only has thy key,

To unlock the mystery,
of the heart that awaits thee.

Wait for me in the meadow
'Neath the lowering moon.
Wait with thine treasured possessions
My dear, I will come for thee soon.
Up, on the back of my stallion
Up, and I'll bear thee away...
To claim thee? a brace of fine pistols
To keep thee? a Toledo blade!

Live large, people!

A knight, must be, the one who awaits thee,
To defend thee to thy death, his words leave me out of breath! To be protected with love,
is a great fantasy!
