Tossing the drapes to the fireplace She poured herself an ale, drinking in The redness of the brew..cherry lipped She knew the scent of dust...would subside Proudly she admired the Bells of Ireland Touching the petals delicate feel...she fell.. awkwardly In love...with a stranger...the craziness of it all Swirling the thoughts... becoming palatable She decided to pay a visit to her Book Lord Down into town she trod more deliberate in step Finding her favorite seat with heavy book in hand Flipping through the pages...Her eyes met her Name Bronte. Thunder. One of the female horses of Helius She was enticed to read in amusement, marvel As Helius had many lovers indeed, a steed His chariot fired the heavens, blinding golden gates She flipped to Brigit, backwards, in order to find Her Mother’s Name shining...as the poetess Divine Still she was not connecting, the Lovers Crossing Rhyme As the Mistress of his Travels...to the Northern Emerald Isle Quiet the Library hushed, in scent of leathered ink Alone except for the attendant, nothing was heard But the papery turn of page..Numbing in white noise As a Blast filled the aisles, rustling pages into a Frenzy Throwing back her chair, standing to run away Every book, every page laced the air, snowing The scent of cinnamon filled her senses again! “What is this strange presence? Show your FACE!” In the center of the whirlwind paper blizzard A transparent figured, took shape, shining, radiating Pulsing into her vision...aware that the attendant had ran She walked towards the Man.... Now emerging real “Why have you come??...What do you want?? You are making me angry in this play of tricks!” He spoke and dimmed, softly glowing from within “I am all things warm and delicious to you.” “I have come to answer the Riddle of your Heart I am that which you crave...desire...hunger for I have ached at the birth of your name forever You are my depth...separating, uniting my light” “I am your Lugh...Your Dancer, your Magician Anything I will be....For My Goddess..My Love” She stood in astonishment of his proposal “I am nothing!...I am just a woman!...No Goddess!” |

I am caught up in your world where fantasy meets reality and find it draws me into a magic place where love will be the winner. BRAVO!!! I love them all. ![]() Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

I'm just coming back to thank you all for staying with me and "holding my hand" through this series of verse! I can't believe the acceptance and warmth you all offer. I hold you all in highest esteem and look forward to joining you in your own verse...as this took some of my reading time...so, you all were so very kind to me! ![]() Sincerely, Regina |
