Lady In Green Velvet

Winter is coming early this year.
Leaves have already blown into the wind,
heading for warmth and rolling seas.
In the distance sits a small ivy covered cottage.
A pathway covered with cobblestones, lined with the
silvery flowers of winter,
leads to this quiet cottage.
On a small veranda a window opens into
a room with flickering light.
A fireplace crackling with warmth, with warm
silhouettes dancing across darkened walls,
casting shadows upon pictures of summer scenes and
frames of golden design.
Sitting by the fire with quill in hand sits a lady,
a lady in flowing green velvet, with velvet ribbons in hair the color of rich auburn.
She sits and stares as if in deep thought, as the
warmth touches her swollen cheeks, she sighs a sigh
of loneliness.
Tears dampen the parchment within her hands, for
she does not know the words that will heal the
painful words of yesterday.
The only words written, in shaky hand, on this
delicate
parchment.
Are the words from deep within her loving heart.
These words reaching across embittered miles
saying,
ā€œIā€™m sorry............... Please forgive.ā€

Love Bon-Bon

Enjoyed this as I told you at the end, would sure like to see you submit some prose.

                    
Let there be peace on earth,
and let it begin with me.

Bon-Bon, I enjoyed this too. You have a
way with your writings of making me want
to read more of the story. I'm glad that
you have some more parts to this one.
