Rose wind surrounds her,
temperate bluebells fade-
a spray of lilies frame her hair
yes, she is restful, calm this way.

God’s blood!
Let his mercy not dine
upon her flesh nor decay not until
their final verse is written.

Aye, it will be so.

Until a laureate, by
candlelight,
before ink stained offerings
meet dawn, awakens her.
Perhaps a minstrel, strumming,
searching if only for a time,
their time,
known only by this lady that
he so desired.

Aye, it will be so.

For in his arms, nay
“‘tis not to be” she dreams.
Aye, it will be so.

For in his arms, the shadow
of his strength by candlelight
draws wretchedness from her soul
and she responds….
aye, she turns, smiling…
if only for a time,
aye, it will be so.

As no man has ever received
this quality
of innocent dew
kept safe within the
passage of time
fallen away to one day
be denied?
“Twas saved within
a hidden verse,
‘til it was awakened
by a laureate.
This fragile vessel rests,
waiting,
for the rough hands
of the one
who asked…

And she whispers “Aye”

in her time, it will be,
if only in her rhyme.

Emily

Hi Emily, this is the first poem of yours I have read, and it is amazing. The reader is rushed back into another time, very well done. Thanks.
