T’is aeon’s since mine quest began
And long since departure
With the loss of love in life.
Manys’ the tortuous road since travelled
Afore thine path did cross with mine.

E’re since that meeting of chance
This Errant Knights thoughts consume,
That Dear Lady you mayst grant a boon.
One night, one hour, one moment
Embrace me in thine bosom afore I die.

Mine quest too long in the making
And spanning life’s spring thru autumn,
Hast been far from straight and narrow
And as the twilight of a coming winter draws near
There is now cause to hasten completion.

If you would grant this Errant Knight thine boon
T’is in your arms I would recline
For thee to climb up behind mine eyes and see love.
From therein cast yourself upon my mind
So that our shadows may tremble in the candlelight.

Thence come, follow the moon with me
Till the sunlight breaks the morn
For that moment, that hour, that night
I am and you are, for that will be enough
And the glass shall bear shadows no more.

Time hast taken its toll
aging this face that waits for return
of mine  Knight.

To climb up behind thine eyes,
to see love as love shouldst be viewed
To feel the sunlight break the morn
in arms of warmth
knowing, Spring follows the coldness of Winter
and Winter paths traveled together
will forge a union, shadows to become one
in the swaying of candlelight reflections.
This My Lord, is more than a Lady, Your Lady
could ask for.

I shall be waiting, however the length of time
for that moment ...when.

Lady Ollyne

And so I went looking for more of your words and I find myself flung back again into history. I may never want to leave what I believe must have been a wonderful era for knights and ladies walking hand in hand in a forest perhaps.  Okay - back long enough to bid you welcome.  I find your words captivating!
