  My Dearest,

  Having been awaiting word from thee,
  and discovering yet another message
  hand delivered,  plans have I been making
  for thy swift return this eve, next.
  Knowing this, brings a rising warmth
  and thoughts so pleasurable,
  as to nearly undo me.
  Please forgive these words
  which I pen so lovingly, if the scribbling
  looks to be hurried, as my beating heart
  can withstand only so much distance
  and so long a time, in its wait to warm yours.
  I believe in you, and your courage
  and forthrightedness in your actions to please.
  And when tomorrow eve arrives,
  I shall relent to your wishes.
  I must go now, as I am overcome
  in anticpation of the morrows nightfall
  and the bringing of my loved one
  home to me, for at least a touch of kiss to lips
  and thus doest not allow the words to flow
  in any sense. I pray
  your intelligence to lead you home
  and the strength of your hands and heart
  back to me, to embrace.

  All I Am,
  Lady Ollyne

jealous am I of your grasp on the lingo...I struggle with the ones I write and still don't get them correct...but what the heck, I subject my fellow writers to them anyway!

Great work.

Sir James,
  No need to be jealous, as the words  
  placed for this lady to view, show a
  grasp of tenderness and to touch ones
  heart, that is all that is necessary.

  Once again, thanking thee
  Lady Ollyne

Lady Ollyne *bows*

again Fair poet, thou hast continued thy tale with love and tenderness such as has ne'er been seen. . . perhaps thou art indeed a "Lost Soul" of that time. . . destined to tell you tale to Lost Hearts here on this plane. . .

until the morrow good Lady. . . *bows*

  Sir Sven,
   My love has many tasks to complete
   before Father allows him my hand in wedlock.
   I await his return from that of his first.  
   Mine heart holds great promise in his
   appearance. Tender is his soul and deep
   in thought is this Lady, as she readies
   for his coming.
   If I be, but a "Lost Soul" of that
   time...
then I shall place
   my words of heart upon this plane
   for all to see.

    Lady Ollyne thanks thee, Sir Sven,
    for thy words of heart.

Lady Ollyne,

You write most beautifully.  Lyrical flowing lines that are music to my ears.  I hope your love completes his given tasks and returns to your arms safely.  This was wonderfully written.

Lone Wolf,
   On this night, he shall
   have completed the one task,    
   necessary enough, to return.
   Even if but brief, a visit
   that will charm mine heart.

   Smiling then, this Lady shall
   be, come early morn.

   Thanking thee,
   Lady Ollyne

Lady T,
     Pleasing words before mine eyes
     Thanking thee,

     Lady Ollyne
  
    Lady Nan,
     An early riser this morn,
     as my love wouldst soon leave
     and every second of every minute
     counts doubly precious to this heart.

     Lady Ollyne
