Descend  I, into a chamber of loneliness
once again, having only memories of thee
to grasp in fingers, slight of hold.

Wondering where doest thou go in thought
as candle grows dim, and this heart lays open
'neath the moons mighty glow.

Entranced, shadows flicker, mine heart jumps
as the sight in mind, plays out our desires.
Dreamt I, of lips that burned their message
into the depths of my soul.

As dawn approaches, I again struggle
with reigning doubts, in hopes that task next,
shall be of a lesser risk to thee
and time traveled shall be swift.

Worry has nearly worn out mine own lace handkerchief,
Of tugs and twists dost my small hands perform
and with wetted eyes have I awaited such.

With love as thy defense and thy heart
to guide thee, my locket is halved
waiting for thy heart, to return to mine.

These eyes are opened each morn to a love so grand,
that mine heart beats doubly, once for thee
and once for a lady in wait...

Loving You,
Ollyne

*bowing*

indeed, Poet Fair, thou hast penned another story of a life once lived, a love forever loved, and a story ne'er told. . .

thou art indeed one to whom angels and fairies have spoken to. . . for thy voice shines in the song of thy heart, which has been for nay many a year, perhaps a century. . .

I await more from thy pen of light Fair Poet. . .
