And She Breathes ... ~*Marge Tindal*~ In she came, this grand of dame Whispered to me, of her name I am Felicity Dela Marcaesa Will you speak my claim ? She said I've memories to trace yet I must hide in disgrace So if you'll grant me spill of quill I'll tell my story ... yes, I will~ I could only listen in reverent pause as stories with me she shared Caught up in the history of a woman's wrongs now bared~ Far across the ocean in another place and time She came to seek, the will to speak to me through her rhyme~ I have not known a gentle life and thusly it is so, my story will not cause a smile for all the tears that flow~ I loved and was loved by one who was not destined to be mine For circumstance took him from my heart and laid him in the brine~ Came he to me in darkest night when all the world lay sleeping I held him tender in my arms to him willingly surrendered~ He was of blood so royal as to cause blue to seek new hue We loved with a love, surely blessed from above but destined to fall short of our glory~ I could not stand by his side in glaring light of day So I did the next-best thing and with him in the night did lay~ Little was known of our love affair for many and many a fortnight Then there came a chilling wind that took him from my sight~ He wore the crown of Prince and someone else sat his throne I was cast in blasphemous past of a love he once had known~ When in fail-of-health he called out the name he said was mine ... Felicity Dela Marcaesa I've loved you for all of time~ But the scarlet of the letter that fell upon my head was borne in sorrow in my breast for now my love was dead~ No more will I be glowing in the sunset of his love For all the reasons - through all the seasons I'll know I wasn't enough ~ I will return to ask of you that you speak of memories I have laid away before I get too old to tell the stories in my own way~ ~*~ *I'm simply stunned at the revelations from this delicate muse* She found me in a moment of quiet reflection in the meadows of my mind ~I hope I can do justice to the stories she has come to share~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

What a way you have of telling such stories! Gold flows from your pen to the page, a treasure for our discovery. Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

I need to make time to listen~ AngelBear~ Thank you for being drawn to my ink~ I appreciate that you found her thoughts as 'inspiring' as I have~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (01-08-2002 01:52 PM).] |

I'm going to figure this out no matter how many replies it takes!!! :-) This story and the words are truly amazing. The gift of giving and telling is one envied by myself and so many others. Keep listening to the words from the wind and writing them down. Hugs, Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |
