Love Was Her Only Gift |

She once believed her heart could tell truth. In medieval pursuit, she was quested by Knight. The Lady she was, can no longer exist. Her dove's flown away and her chamber lacks light. Love was her only gift to the night. Intense of desire, attraction was held By he, masked in Darkness, blinding her sight. Mistaken emotions, of falsehood in feel. Colours of love remained silent, in spite. Love was her only gift to her Knight. Under his influence, reality was spared. Shadows came creeping, tempting her plight, On Merry-Go-Round, 'til was left solitaire. Fabled in silence, she paled, slight of white. Love was her only gift in the night. Love was her only gift... Love was her only... Love was... Love... ... Lady Ollyne [This message has been edited by Lady Ollyne (03-02-2002 01:35 PM).] |

Love is a personal and precious gift to give, and if we are lucky it is received that way. Getting lucky is the hard part~~ Lovely sentiment Lady O~ |

If slight of white could make it right I would sheathe thee in the colours of the rainbow. Lady, always thou dost move mine heart in sympathy. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

and if love is to be the sweet risk than, who nobler, more assured, than a Knight who will protect jealously and guard with valor the gift that has the most cost but is free Lady O, your words are wine that gives me chills, tSR |

O' Lady fair, though thee hast felt the sting of love's deception, from inutile knave, who lurks in shadows of the night, thee wil'st taste of passion's tender kiss, love's transformation, when thee dost meet in glow of welkin's glow, thy one true knight. Enjoyed your poem muchly, nicely written. |

She once believed her heart could tell truth. In medieval pursuit, she was quested by Knight. The Lady she was, can no longer exist. Her dove's flown away and her chamber lacks light. ------------------- You have expressed all that sadness wonderfully... I hope she would soon find that who would appreciate her gift of love.. Thank you ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Sir JamesM, This Lady sends you a smile of thanks *w Ollyne Lady Blues, To share my love was my only wish. To have someone receive it and share theirs in return would be a greater gift. Thanking thee, Lady Ollyne Lady Kethry, I love thy coloured thoughts, but actually slight of white meant little white lies *s The Lady is pleased to move thee. Ollyne Sir ShadowRider, Loving is free, and should be received as such. Thy words touch the truth on this subject. Lady Ollyne Lady Karilea, Returning comes of necessity. Being missed warms mine heart.

Lady Neha, This Lady welcomes thee and thanks thee for thy kindness. Lady Floria Expression of love as it's meaning to another dwindled to nothingness... mine ending. Thanking thee for visiting. Lady Ollyne Lady Vandana, *s Sir Tim, Heaven holds the happiness for all. Lady Nancy, Beauty is only in the lives of those who give and receive love. Thank thee for thy welcome. (hug) Ollyne Sir EagleScorpion, The ending, was the start of my beginning. Lady of Melody, Her gift of love... is too overwhelming for most. Lady Ivy Rose, Soft Love may sometimes not be enough even though passionate. Thanking thee, Lady O Sir Sven, Thy words relieve the frown from this face. I return only for want of kindness such as thou has left behind. Lady Ollyne [This message has been edited by Lady Ollyne (03-05-2002 07:04 AM).] |
