Love's Mountain Cave ©
Karen Torbiak
2000

Leena stands at the opening to the cave
and breathes in the crisp, coolness
of the mountain air and expels it
into frosty mist with a sigh

Gazing out on the vastness of
mountains covered with the beauty
of new fallen snow, her eyes take
on a sparkle of delight

The sun is high in the sky and
shines with brilliance upon
the snow making it glisten with
a magic that is seldom known

Mountains in majestic splendor
raise all around her in this
world she has ever called her home
and she sighs with the freedom of it

Her heart speeds up as she thinks
what today will bring as she takes
flight to a far of land in quest
for him who has touched her heart

Leena glances up to a crag far above
and sends her thoughts to touch
Sheel who is connected with her
for life to make sure Sheel is ready

An answering warmth fills her mind
as she is told all is prepared for
the wonderful trip into the world
of man that they are to take

She returns to the warm depths
of the cave to get the cloak
she will need as she moves
through the cold laden air

It is large to be wrapped around
two bodies on the return to
the frozen heights of her cave
set in these ancient mountains

Running her hands lovingly over
the softness of the white fur
she sighs with contentment for
she knows that soon she be loved

Sending for a thought of call Leena
returns to the entrance of the cave
and listens to the sounds coming from
above as Sheel comes forth to her summons

A flash of gold brings a smile of pride
to her face as she glories in the
approach of the most majestic of
dragons, Sheel, the golden one

Sheel lands softly before her and extend a
forarm to assist in mounting upon
the magnificent golden back of this
dragon who shares heart and thought with her

Planned well, there is no need for directions
as Sheel launches herself to soar high above
the mountains, leaving behind the
protection they offer to wing south

Wrapped in the fur Leena hardly feels
the cold bite of the thin air that
is flowing around her as the speed
at which they travel increases

She closes her eyes and pictures in
her mind the location of her
heart's desire so that Sheen can
easily find exactly where they should go

Leena feels goose bumps forming as she
lets herself dream of him who she has
learned to know and love but they are not
of cold but of excitement as they draw closer

The time passes with amazing speed and they
are soon circling this more southern place
making ready to land as Leena searches
for a way to do so undetected

Her mind being well trained she casts forth
a call to he who has won the heart of
this woman from a part of the world long
forgotten and now left to the fantasies of man

She feels his returning call as she spots a
deserted alley not far from him and sends
to him that he meet her there and gives
direction for Sheen to land quickly

Leena sees him advancing with a somewhat
puzzled look upon his face that lights with
excitement as he sees before him a glorious
dragon mounted by a woman with glowing eyes of love

As she tells him to mount in front of her
he informs her that he thought she was
just someone he had made up in his dreams
and is still wondering if she is truly real

Once he is settled she wraps them both in
the warmth of the cloak and signals Sheen
to take flight and head for home with all
speed as she would be with this man she loves

Leena slides her hands around him moving close
and laying her cheek to his back absorbing
the wonderful heat of his strength and smelling
the sweet manly scent of him until now not known

Wrapped safely in her arms they soar high above
the clouds and she lets out a giggle of delight
as she feels the wonder of it all filling this
man who has come to mean so much to her

Within a twinkling it seems they are above
the magical mountains of her home and she is
pleased to feel the awe and wonder fill him
as the soar quickly to the entrance of her home

After alighting Leena sends Sheen, with much love
and gratitude, to her cave and turning to him
sees the questions in his eyes that will all
need to be answered but first to her home

Taking him by the hand she leads him deep within
the cave to the very back, where with the touch
of her hand the mountain wall moves silently open
to reveal what would astound an amaze mankind

There in a sunlit valley lays a land of magic
long forgotten where even from this height
can be seen elves and fairies at play while
unicorns splash in crystal water falls

He turns to her with eyes now shining with
the light of love she has dreamed of seeing
in them and pulls her into his arms as he
accepts the gift offered to be one with her

He pulls her close, bending to take her soft
lips with his own as two hearts begin to beat
as one in this magical, mystical land
found through Love's Mountain Cave

Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. http://path2riches.com

Wow! Karen I don't know why you aren't writing fantasy books especially for older children and I am in no way undermining your maturity because I know you and I know this material pours out of you freely and that you lose yourself in it when you write. There is a gift here that needs to be nurtured into channels where it will help others learn to create...anyway beyond that I always enjoy your powerful imagination...take care

Karen, I have to agree with ethome on this one. You have a rare talent that surely needs to see the hard bound coverings of some novels. This held me all the way through the entire story and I found myself holding my breath at times. This one goes in my library for sure.

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses.
