Keepsake For M'Lord


My Dearest,

Morning air was crisp,
sun rising with the spirits of all,
as we awaited the trumpets sounding,
to enter the Kingdom.

Mine thoughts jousted,
surrendering to the last,
as I sipped from memories taste.
The autumn falling before me,
the velvet softness of voices...
singing out, sweet maidens in tapestry,
yielding to the dance before them.

Taking great pleasure
in being amused by the Jesters,
drinking in the merriment of minstrels,
I toasted to desires,
holding mind to visions of thee.

Every face to grace mine eyes,
each body to saunter in,
only deepened
my meandering thoughts.

This day, friends all,
fulfulled with its beauty and splendor,
caught up in its majesty, I wished
but for one thing only...
to have shared it with thine heart.

Yet I know, as twilight unfolds,
and the indigo spreads its energy,
lifting the stars to the heavens,
high above the crescent moon,
Thou shalt be  waiting...

Soon to be holding in thine hand,
as held in mine now, a treasure,
framed, suspended on golden links,
chained in love.



For thee, I am photoed, costumed,
keepsake of this day for next, when we meet.

As I carry yours in dreams, 'til then,

Your Lady,
Ollyne

Lady of the Sun,
'Tis always a pleasure
to view your words.

Sir Knight of Sighs,
Inspiring words,
I read of thee, a talent
fit for a Lady.

Sir William,
Lovely is a word
held softly in ones heart.
  Thankful for thy kindness,
am I.

Lady of Shallot
Thank you for words,
appreciating style...
writing becomes me
at the moment .

Lady Victoria,
as always a pleasure
to see you here.
My locket, my heart,
thank you.

Sir James,
A keepsake for love,
a faire exchange, yes?

My love enjoys the sight of me
therefore I treasure his eyes,
and bring him love in words.
Thanking thee,

So sweet thy words,
a heart of gold...

With Pleasure,
Lady Ollyne
